Will the DOD allow military/naval members to present themselves in uniform at Pro-Life or Pro-Marriage or partisan political events? Thought not.
Also, the image of “twits” in uniform saluting any flag other than that of our nation or the several states (or another nation, ceremonially, as appropriate) is most resentful to me and our status as a soveriegn nation.
Our national military leaders have no balls it seems to do right or resign, (”fortitude” for those who are “inclusive”).
I retired from active duty only a few years ago (2006) and I work on a major Army installation, however, the military I see represented in the media and in policy does not reflect what I see daily in the form of boots on the ground and in the acts of our young warriors.
It has been my expereince in conversation that while our uniformed personnel ackowledge that some choose to be (sodomites) they do not desire to know about that or heterosexual exploits either.
Our military has had a long tradition of being rather apolitical in policy and accommodating of most rational political and social viewpoints, (but not most behaviors). It is rather silly to assume that policy promoting, not just allowing, abnormal sexual conduct (yes, ab-normal) would have no impact on the ability of our nations forces to accomplish every mission with aplomb and minimal loss of life (on either side).
Social experiments belong in labs, not in the critical context of a nations war-fighting prowess.
God Help us, as it seems we have loss our compass.
(POST- I note in advance that my viewpoint may not be agreeable to many-even in this forum-whatever.)
I agree with you totally. You had to have served to really understand how things are in close quarters. Even officers don’t know because they don’t have to share quarters, at least not in the AF.
The ones really affected are the poor souls in the barracks. I’m sure they will cover up the truth like they cover everything else up.
