Homosexual Assault in the Military

Executive Summary

A Family Research Council analysis of publicly available documents-the Pentagon's own report on sexual assault in the military for Fiscal Year 2009, and published decisions from military courts of appeals over the last decade and a half-have shown that there is already a significant problem of homosexual misconduct in the military. This problem can only become worse if the current law is repealed and homosexuals are openly welcomed (and even granted special protections) within the military, as homosexual activists are demanding.

Rates of Homosexual Assault in the Military Are Disproportionately High

Homosexual activist groups themselves have admitted that less than three percent of Americans are homosexual or bisexual.

FRC has reviewed the "case synopses" of all 1,643 reports of sexual assault reported by the four branches of the military for Fiscal Year 2009 (October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009). Our startling finding was that over eight percent (8.2%) of all military sexual assault cases were homosexual in nature. This suggests that homosexuals in the military are about three times more likely to commit sexual assaults than heterosexuals are, relative to their numbers.

Lack of Privacy Leads to Sexual Assaults

FRC and other supporters of the current law have pointed out the risks involved in having servicemembers share living quarters, showers, and bathrooms with persons of the same sex who may be sexually attracted to them. This concern is borne out by many of the case synopses reported by the Pentagon. The most common type of homosexual assault is one in which the offender fondles or performs oral sex upon a sleeping victim. Assaults upon victims who are intoxicated are also common.

Many Discharges of Homosexuals are for Sexual Assault

Advocates of open homosexuality in the military often lament the fact that several thousand members of the military have been discharged under the 1993 law since its enactment. However, what they fail to note is that many of those discharges are actually for sexual assaults.

Court Records Reveal Shocking Cases of Homosexual Assault

Published decisions of military courts (available on the legal search engine Lexis) give even more detail about homosexual assaults in the military. For example:

• 36-year-old Marine Sgt. Sean D. Habian used both alcohol and homosexual pornography in the course of assaulting a 21-year-old Lance Corporal.
• Marine Sgt. Steven G. Carlson, a military police instructor, took advantage of his position to exploit his students, inviting them to social events, plying them with alcohol, and playing games like "truth or dare" to identify who might be receptive to homosexual activity. One of his victims "testified that the appellant's acts shocked him, he froze, and was scared."
• Homosexual activists are fond of saying that the military cannot afford to lose the specialized skills that some homosexual service members have-such as translators and linguists. Air Force Sgt. Eric P. Marcum was a Persian-Farsi linguist-but also was charged with forcible sodomy against a male Senior Airman who "testified that Appellant's actions made him scared, angry, and uncomfortable."
• Air Force Major Rickie J. Bellanger was charged with sexually abusing two minor boys-one of whom had begun corresponding with Maj. Bellanger when he was in the fifth grade.

Conclusion

The military already has a serious problem with sexual assault by homosexuals. If the current law against homosexuality in the military is overturned, the problem of same-sex sexual assault in the military is sure to increase.

• If the law is overturned and open homosexuals are welcomed into the military, the number of homosexuals in the armed forces can only increase-leading to a corresponding increase in same-sex sexual assaults.
• Removal of the threat of discharge from the military for homosexual conduct will reduce deterrence, likely leading to more cases of sexual assault.

• If homosexuals become a protected class within the military, victims will be afraid to report incidents of homosexual assault and commanders will be afraid to punish them, lest they be accused of "discrimination" or "homophobia."

Allowing open homosexuality in the military would do nothing to enhance the readiness or effectiveness of our armed forces. On the contrary, it would clearly damage them-in part because it would increase the already serious problem of homosexual assault in the military.

The Community of the Special (CS) asserted that male homosexuality was the foundation of all nation-states and that male homosexuals represented an elite .....Brand said in Der Eigene that he wanted men who “thirst for a revival of Greek times and Hellenic standards of beauty after centuries of Christian barbarism.”

If they feel that strongly about it, they should gather together their elite shekels of silver and go buy Paraguay or something.

Poaching on the very different American ideal of the Framers should be requited with the scorn and rejection it deserves -- whether Communist poaching, homosexualist poaching, or Islamist poaching.

Excellent article and information. Anyone pushing the homosexual agenda, especially wanting homosexuals in the military - and there are number of them on FR - need to have their heads grabbed and their faces rubbed in these facts.

FYI - you might want to see this, more ammunition against “gays” in the military.

Saw it yesterday, thanks.

Thanx for the post of gay Nazi history I hadn't seen a lot of before ......

Funny how society never got the word on all the Nazi horridity.

Reminder to self that the Nazis were a party of the Left .....

...William Shirer describes Roehm as "a stocky, bull-necked, piggish-eyed, scar- faced professional soldier...[and] like so many of the early Nazis, a homosexual" (Shirer:64)

We need more like him in the U.S. Army?

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

YW...it runs counter to the left wing propaganda that has influenced popular misconceptions. See this thread, Hitler was a Leftist

[lentulusgracchus]

"Roehm.....had surrounded himself with a staff of perverts. His chiefs, men of rank of Gruppenfuhrer or Obergruppenfuhrer, commanding units of several hundred thousand Storm Troopers, were almost without exception homosexuals. Indeed, unless a Storm Troop officer were homosexual he had no chance of advancement"

Good quote. And explanatory of the smug reflection of a New York Times editor, on the fact that something like 3/4's of the Page One editors of The New York Times are homosexual or bisexual.

As with the SA Brown Shirts, so now, 75 years later, with "Pinchy" Sulzberger and his New York Times.

The Pink Swastika online.

Excellent reference book for Nazi history and homosexuality. I have the first and a subsequent edition. And it’s all online. Everyone should read this book.

BUMP TO THE TOP FOR AN ABSOLUTE MUST-READ ON WHY HOMOSEXUALS IN THE MILITARY CANNOT HAPPEN!

[Albion Wilde]

"After World War I, Roehm was highly placed in the underground nationalist movement that plotted to overthrow the Weimar government and worked to subvert it through assassinations and terrorism. "

So, Roehm was Hitler's Soros? Or his William Ayers?

[Albion Wilde]

"The favorite meeting place of the SA was a "gay" bar in Munich called the Bratwurstglockl..."

The "DingDongWeiner"? "Bell to Wurst"? "Ring Around the Schnitzel"? "Belle of the Brats"?

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Or what the Blank Panthers are to Obama.

[little jeremiah]

BTTT.

[little jeremiah]

Pinging a couple of you from that pulled thread (wish I could remember another name or two) to three older articles detailing why homos in the military is a Very Bad Thing.

Plus a good BTTT for people who have not read these articles.

[little jeremiah]

Oh, you were on that thread, too.
