Officer won't sign order for troop indoctrination (Asks 2B relieved of command re DADT)
WorldNet Daily ^ | December 24, 2010 | Brian Fitzpatrick

President Obama's repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is already  damaging the U.S. military.

An Army lieutenant colonel has asked to be relieved of command rather than order his troops to go through pro-homosexual indoctrination following the repeal of the policy, which required homosexuals to keep silent about their sexual preference.

Currently the commander of a battalion-sized unit in the Army National Guard, the officer also has threatened to resign his commission rather than undergo "behavior modification" training intended to counter his religious convictions about homosexuality.

Beyond concerns about violating his own conscience and the beliefs of his soldiers, the officer predicts several additional adverse consequences to repealing the military's ban on open homosexuality.

Incredible. They already have the “training programs” in place? I guess they (the US govt under Bambi The Ridiculous) were pretty sure this was going to go through.

This was the primary objective of the homosexual agenda in general and the repeal of DADT specifically: Demoralize and compromise the United States military.

As a veteran, and a patriot, the contempt and hatred I have for those who championed this destruction of our military is, in a word, profound.

While I share his disagreement and concerns over the DADT repeal, I think he is jumping the gun here. He has been given no order to do anything, so how can he resign in protest of an order he has not been given?

And, for the record, I am retired Army Reserve. I think I would also resign rather than carry out this policy.

So we have a real man here. Good for him. This is exactly what every service member needs to do in one form or another.

it begins.....

God ! I hope this is ‘catching’

It is time for ALL good officers to question this illegal and totally immoral order .

If 90% of ALL officers in ALL branches would just stand up and “ just say NO!” , they win ....

Forget careers .
I know that’s easy to say , but it’s true .

If there was ever a good cause for a coup , this is it .

Don’t take this shit . Stand up! Fight !
You owe no allegiance to the gang of commies and homos
that are trying to take complete control of our wonderful country . Fight !

There is the kind of leader we can ill afford to lose. I hope others like him take similar action though it may mean throwing away an otherwise good career. We certainly are letting the Obamaites screw up this country. Shame on the Republicans in Congress and shame on us for allowing the traitors to be elected.

What does it matter when the order comes? It’s coming. He’s just being proactive. You’re just being legalistic.

The Pentagon is going to start recruiting for the homosexuals. That's some bad ****. I guess they'll start packaging tubes of KY in the MREs.

Hope and change.

As a fellow veteran I am sick to my stomach at the disaster that is being wrought upon our young men and women in uniform, as well as the nation. The world impact of this decision will not be long in being accounted.

Ditto here. I hope they suffer the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah for this assault on decency.

Don’t think the pink brigade isn’t prepared for the war of attrition. In fact, they’re counting on it.

Subject: Request for Relief from Command due to Personal Moral Conflict with New Homosexual Policy

1. I respectfully request to be relieved of Command of XXX Squadron, XXX Cavalry prior to new policy implementation subsequent to the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” My personal religious beliefs and moral convictions do not permit me to treat homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle, compatible with military service, any more than adultery, illicit drug use, or criminal activity. I believe this lifestyle runs counter to good order and discipline in military units, and I refuse to sacrifice my belief system, protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, in order to fall in line with the command policy that will logically follow. This new policy will undoubtedly include mandatory sensitivity training as well as same-sex partner inclusion in Family Readiness Group activities and integration into the full spectrum of other military benefits, as well as a whole new category of discrimination standards and investigative procedures. I will not, as a commander, put my signature on a training schedule or other document recognizing or legitimizing any of these things that contradict my personal beliefs.

2. I would like to remain in the XXX Army National Guard until I am eligible for retirement (at 20 years and 0 days), which would be in the late summer of 2012, but on grounds of my religious beliefs, I will not attend sensitivity or behavior modification training consequential to this policy change, even if it means disciplinary action. I regret that I cannot continue to serve in the military further, but feel that my efforts would be insincere because my heart will no longer be in it.”
