EDITORIAL: New gay Army--Top general calls Christian soldiers 'bigots'
The Washington Times ^ | September 16, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 09/16/2010 5:17:29 PM PDT by jazusamo

Next week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected to begin floor debate on a defense authorization bill that would repeal the Clinton-era "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and allow homosexuals to serve openly in the armed forces. Last month, a top military official offered a glimpse of how the military might look should the new policy take effect: Those serving who oppose the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) agenda are no longer welcome.

Those were the views of Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, the Army's deputy chief of staff in charge of personnel matters who spoke about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" before several hundred troops at the European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. "Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them," Lt. Gen. Bostick said. "But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can't, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you're always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today."

The strong words take additional significance from Lt. Gen. Bostick's direct involvement with a Pentagon panel charged with shaping military policy on this issue. Although Lt. Gen. Bostick presented the question of homosexuals in the military as if it were about civil rights, it is nothing of the kind. The services must discriminate to function. Those who are too old, too weak or too overweight must be shown the door even when similar actions in the private sector might spark a lawsuit.

They’re coming after average Americans harder than they’re going after the people trying to kill us. :(

The ONLY real enemy for these people are Christian conservatives. Every other group pales by comparison.

“The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party”
By Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams
(1995)

“Documents the homosexual and occultic roots of the Nazi movement in Germany. Much has been written about Nazi persecution of homosexuals. Yet, many Nazis were homosexuals themselves, and the so-called persecution was merely one faction using the state to suppress the other faction or was unrelated to their being homosexual.”

Honest question, what does he do that makes him a “Top General?”

I honestly don't know because it was just pointed out his awards are "Hooah badges" or "being there" awards. It seems he may be a good pencil pusher and/or a** kisser.

When the armed forces are led by those who can’t tell the difference between right and wrong, their demise won’t be far behind. A lot like our country.

No No thank you, I am sure you've done more than me, but I am not sure I'll re up because zero is cutting the budget and if they repeal DADT than the military can have their sodomites because I won't be back

Granted, some commands are so wishy-washy that a homosexual could get along for a while. But eventually, they will meet up with a homopsychotic, and then it is only a matter of time.

And it doesn’t matter one damn bit what academics and squishy liberals think. A homosexual in uniform will be a dead homosexual, even if they don’t know it yet.

A very insightful comment. I served many decades ago and it was my observation that the troops will not tolerate homosexuals in their ranks. The troops' inclinations (for the most part) may be held in check while stateside but once they enter combat the bodies will start stacking up.

I don't think that I come under the classification of a homopsychotic personality since I don't see homosexuals as a threat. It's just that their perverted sexual practices turn my stomach and I don't want to be associated with them.

I am immensely glad that I'm not a soldier today. I don't think that I could tolerate showering and bunking with queers. I would have to leave the service.

It will be easier to fire on white, heterosexual, Christian males once the “proper” demographic composition of the military is achieved.
