“What About “I’m not wild about homosexuals in the military” constitutes promoting the homosexual agenda? The ones promoting the homosexual agenda are Congress. But the military is stuck with it if it becomes law.”
Because persons like yourself, in the name of “respecting the constitution” have crucified LTC Lakin. The same that will happen to those in the military that take a stand. YOU helped bring that about by dissing LTC Lakin’s attempt to get answers. Your ilk set the groundwork for others to be persecuted on the homosexual issue.
IMO you are promoting a homosexual agenda regardless of what you claim.
And by the way. It is absolutely idiotic for you to ask such a ridiculous question about overthrowing the government. You should know better than to even mention such a thing.
IOW, mr "conservative" isn't against it, he's just not wild about it....sounds like promotion to me too.
There is no connection save in your hysterical imagination.
LTC Lakin was not crucified. He disobeyed lawful orders. He was court martialed for that. But in case your unaware of it, the practice of addressing disobedience to lawful orders via court martial predates LTC Lakin. He set no precedent in that regard.
If Congress repeals DADT and legislates that you can't discharge a homosexual service member, it will be a problem for you if you try to do so. It would be the exact same problem if LTC Lakin had never even been heard of. The problem is simple--if Congress makes it legal to be a homosexual in the military, its power to do so flows from the Constitution and is binding upon the military. So again, what do you propose the army should do?
How is the army to preclude open homosexuals serving when it is mandated to do so? How is the army to avoid legal ramifications if you try to discharge a serving homosexual when there is no longer a legal basis to do so? You're the one blustering about it, and I can see no option other than openly illegal defiance that does constitute rebellion against Constitutionally defined authority. So again, what is the army supposed to do if Congress repeals DADT?
