” In nine years of covering every theater of this global war for Fox News and in writing American Heroes in Special Operations, I have never met a single senior non-commissioned officer in any service who said to me anything like: “We need some homosexuals and lesbians out here to help us accomplish our mission.”

What organization isn't improved by having fagots at all levels?

Boy scouts, teachers, Catholic Church, the US Congress. All are sooooo much better off with openly gay membership. /sarc

Just having this conversation is insane.

The Navy it's not just a job, it's a blow job.

LIARS!

It is sickening to see how they are doing this. The ranks of soldiers, sailors and airmen and marines clearly do NOT want it changed. They know full well they anonymous survey they were told they took was rigged. nameless means whatever outcome you want can be the result and this is what the leadership was INSTRUCTED to do. That bastard Sec Def has led on this. I resent the living heck out of Gates and wish for his political demise and destruction.

There is not one state in our country that gay marriage has won. On the contrary, when left to the people (Not like the police states of Massachusetts, Vermont and California) it never wins. In the aforementioned three states the people were circumvented as was the law and constitution of our nation and those states.

IF the people of this nation stand against gay marriage, if even in the gayest friendly of states where those who choose this lifestyle do NOT approve of their marriage then how in the hell do you expect me to believe that the military, which is very much RIGHT of the general population is all of a sudden rolling over and saying yes to Gay Pride week int he military and more.

Gays want this for LEGITIMACY only...nothing else. They see the destruction of our military as a means to an end.

Dam them all for doings this and dam us all for allowing it. I am fighting it openly and with no apology.

Mr. Martin is either a liar, or he didn’t read the Pentagon survey. I’ll opt for both.

I did a four part evaluation of the report. According to the Admin Mod it should have been one, but I thought it was too long and was trying to be helpful. Oh well. But it does cover how the press is slanting what the troops really did say:

This whole thing is nonsense. I don’t necessarily believe that gays in the military want to be out. They just don’t want to get kicked out if someone finds out without credible evidence that they are really doing wrong. For instance, there was an chief who was kicked out because of his e-mail address. Does that really have to be necessary? However in the last 10 years only about a thousand troops have been shown the door due to homosexuality and guess what? Most of them were due to their own acknowledgement that they were gay. They went purposefully to their CO and told him or her and they were forced to administratively separate. There is ZERO need to change this rule especially as long as they are not investigating people’s lives. It would be interesting to see what a percentage of gays serving in the military really would be if asked if the ban should be lifted? I bet the number is small. I truly believe it is the civilian population that wants this more than the military. The Joint Chief and CNO and SECDEF is a mystery to why they are insistent on this.
