The repeal of DADT has much farther reaching consequences than nearly any other legislation passed by this administration except for Obamacare, and maybe even that (since there is always a possibility it will not be implemented as they want it to be)
This may sound melodramatic to some, but the biggest long term problem here is that this is a part of a concerted efforts by liberals to destroy the military and normalize homosexuality, with the emphasis on normalizing homosexuality.
From a simple national security/military standpoint, I think that most people don’t understand the threat that open homosexuality poses to security, and it was highlighted in the Wikileaks incident.
Everyone is saying “How did this low level enlisted guy get his hands on so much classified material?” The simple explanation (and usually the right one) is that the security clearance and storage systems are so mangled, underfunded and poorly implemented that if it hadn’t been this guy, it could have been a thousand other people.
But another explanation could be a homosexual affair with someone who had higher clearance, coupled with blackmail. It is probably the oldest espionage trick in the book.
Supporters of repealing DADT maintain that if homosexuality is normalized, this type of vulnerability will disappear because there will be no official stigma associated with it.
The problem with that view is that most people understand homosexuality is a perversion and not a normal, natural situation. Even if it is accepted by some governing agency (like the military) there are ALWAYS going to be people engaging in homosexuality who don’t want anyone to know, their families, friends, workplace, etc.
On a non-security/non-military level, this is simply a great, big, huge wedge, societally and legally, a massive bulldozer by the homosexual community to legitimize homosexuality and homosexual marriage.
If they win on this, every single piece of legislation out there that is viewed as unfair or limiting in some way by homosexual activists will fall like a house of cards, and they damn well know it. It will set a legal precedent for all aspects of society to be forcefully accessible to open homosexuality, from Scoutmasters and elementary school teachers to the Oval Office.
Well stated, if a homosexual can die for his Country, how can we deny that person Xxxxxxxx!
The repeal of DADT is not about Homosexuals serving in the Military
I offer that little WikiLeaks freak from the U.S. Army -- I believe "his" name is PFC Manning -- as Exhibit A on that point.
bump!
