The End Game is to ruin the best military force in the world and America in the process.

If Wilson were a Mohammedan would this be happening to him?

“his personal beliefs about homosexuality were not compatible with the military’s policies”

So what about the gay soldier whose personal belief about homosexuality is to foxhole every soldier he is in a foxhole with?

Is that belief compatible with the military’s policies?

(I almost said ‘core values’ ha ha.)

I have proudly served 27 years and this is a slap in the face to us who have put our lives on the line for this country.

Unfortunately, sir, that's exactly what they intended. But from the rest of us, thank you for your patriotism and service.

There is a difference between beliefs and behaviors. Until recently the behaviors of homosexuals was not compatible with the military’s polices yet persons who believed in “gay rights” where not expelled so long as they did not engage in that behavior. You could have whatever beliefs you wanted, behavior was governed. Now behavior is what ever you want and beliefs are governed.

The intolerant left showing their true agenda.

The US military has up to now been the greatest force for good in the world. The problem with the military model is that they're expected to unconditionally obey their superiors and when command becomes depraved, the military as a whole becomes a force for evil. The Totenkopf SS is considered to be the most evil group of people in history, but in the end, they were nothing but a group of guys following orders.

Incidentally, they were also gay.

first amendment, freedom of religion and freedom of speech, I guess the fringe extreme left can’t get it into their thick dumb heads that what they do is unhealthy, sick, twisted and unnatural which even many moderates on the left agree with

The Soviets are the Red Menace. The Soviets are our Allies. The Soviets are the enemy.

We’ve given soldiers whiplash before.

Let’s not get started on Muslims. It’s a religion of peace. Only bad Muslims will blow your head off. Please ignore the doctor’s Power Point. Please pay attention to our Power Point. Then you will learn that Catholics are extremists.

Because believing that homosexuality is wrong is a legitimate belief within historic Christianity, it is inappropriate to “make examples of people who have religious beliefs that homosexual conduct in the military is wrong,” as the article says.

They have a recognized, historic belief on which they are commenting. This is nothing new, nor unusual, nor even comment worthy.

The real measure of this is that the US military ALREADY accommodates a number of religious beliefs that are unique to those religions. They even allow very conservative Jews, for example, to have their own chapel buildings in many locations, because of the kosher laws that make an area religiously unusable for them.

The military already forbids desecration style services by occult religions in chapels used for normal Christian worship.

For the military to accommodate those adhering to the historic Christian faith by setting aside a particular chapel for either them or for those in one of the newly invented homosexual friendly religions would not be an undue burden on the military.

They already accommodate other practices of other religions without suggesting those believers must give up their military careers.

Obama is preparing the military for the day when they will be ordered to fire on Americans, and the new Obama loyalists will.

There may come a time when the citizens are fighting the Army. You’d think they’d remember the last time this happened apparently God was on the believers’ side.

Turnabout is fair play. Conservatives should be crystal clear that when congress is Republican again, not only will this persecution end, but those responsible for it will be out of their jobs.

Right now there are perhaps thousands of federal employees who have engaged in numerous examples of misconduct, in any number of ways. They should no longer be working for the government.

Coming from a military family, there was a time in the recent past that I would have been quite pleased if any of my grandchildren would have joined the military.....however, since our new commander in chief and his party took over, I would strongly discourage not only those in my family or anyone else to find another career. Makes me sad.

It isn't any more, and I was USAF for 20 years. That, of course, doesn't mean that many in the military are not admirable, but the politically correct A holes running the show, seem not to be. I have told my son that I do not want him to go into the military, because of the A holes in charge.
