Blood of Tyrants: “This will make homosexuality a protected status in the military. If you even upset a queer, you will be brought up on charges.”

I believe you’re correct. Of course most of the homosexuals will still keep it private, but I think there’s no doubt some will join and push the issue just to make a point. That means there will come a time when they’ll be able to have special events/treatment, just like minorities. Think gay pride celebrations! Of course, we’ll also have the battle for gay marriage, dependent benefits, etc. Who can deny gays the right to marry when they are willing to die for their country on the battlefield, right?

I spent nearly a decade deploying regularly to the Middle East and living in close quarters (tents, shared rooms) with other men. At that time, men were not even allowed to go into the tent areas reserved for women. I don’t know what policy is now. If sexual attraction is still a factor, how will heterosexuals be separated from homosexuals? If it’s bad to have men and women sleeping in the same tents, then how can it be OK to billet me next to a guy who likes to sodomize other men?

The repeal of DADT opens up a massive can of worms on the military. Most of our senators are completely insulated from the reality of military service. The vast majority have never even served. Yet, a majority apparently stands ready to serve up their world view of sodomy as normal on the military.

They KNOW the new congress would never vote for this crap, so they are rushing it through in spite of us. Republicans like Snowe should (MUST) be banished from the party for colluding with the Democrats against her own party. It’s one thing to have a different opinion on some issues. It’s completely different to go against the will of the people as expressed in the last election. Again, they KNOW the jig is up so they are rushing to get this crap done now in CLEAR AND OPEN DEFIANCE against voters (who have consistently rejected gay marriage everywhere in the US, BTW).

I swear most senators get what they know of the military from watching Starship Troopers. A person’s sex drive is a very powerful thing. It’s what drives us. To think we’re going to someday have an effective military where men, women and everything in between is showering and billeting together is simply not reality. It’s a Hollyweird fantasy.

I have no doubt these foolish senators think they are doing good deeds, but they are only creating disruption and chaos in the ranks. And what for? A small percent of folks who wear their sexual deviance with pride?!? The military is NOT a company. We are here to kill people and destroy things, and anything that stands in the way of that mission is bad. We have aggressive military programs to make sure our troops are in top shape. They discourage smoking and encourage proper eating for example. Don’t smoke, but if you want to engage in high risk anal sex, mixing blood and excrement in a medically dangerous act with your barracks mate, that’s great?!?

My mind simply can’t grasp how people can see this a normal and good in private life, much less the military. This goes beyond live and let live. People actually APPROVE of it. I say a great delusion is on our nation. God help us!
