“I’ve got your back” no longer sounds so re-assuring.

I used to joke that we would have quotas (”goals”) for promotion for homosexuals as individuals, and for units as a whole.

For instance, a unit could either be 10% homosexual, or 100% homosexual, 10% of the time.

Perhaps an individual would need a bi-annual re-certification of bi-sexuality to qualify for the promotion preference.

I am glad that I don’t have to endure this personally. It is really hard to stomach. It must be having an effect on recruiting and retention - purging conservatives and packing in (pun intended) homosexuals.

I was also thinking that the “crossed swords” were symbolic for a number of things, none of them good ...

The 2 sick bastards getting married is one thing....but then for fellow “soldiers” to be beaming with delight! Unbelieveable.

I thought the same thing. Perhaps they are expecting immediate promotions.

If a young Marine complains to him that his SGT is making gay passes at him, what does the young officer do?

Are there no blankets? Cannot bars of soap still go into the toe of a sock? Should not orders that directly attack Core Values be resisted?

ISTM that an officer needs to do the work that is closest to him. Maximizing cohesion and morale to assure that his unit is mission ready IS doing his duty. That is along the lines of what I shall counsel.

Such might well cost him dearly, but he will retain his integrity.

If a young Marine complains to him that his SGT is making gay passes at him, what does the young officer do?

What happens if the young Marine is female and the SGT making passes is male? That must have come up at some point.

It used to be that troops at 12 years in would consider finishing 20 for retirement pay. Those at 16 definitely would. I am seeing those two groups getting out. Not a single guy I know is staying in.

Because this is what they have to put up with. How would want to always be looking over your shoulder for a John Wayne Gacy clone that wants to sodomize you? Usually the pervert is going to outrank you and get by with raping you!

Homosexual Troops Are 5X to 20X More Apt to Rape

A homosexual male serviceman in the U.S. Armed Forces is more than five times likely to rape a fellow serviceman than a serviceman to rape a servicewoman, and a lesbian soldier or sailor is 10 to 20 times more like to rape another servicewoman than a servicewoman is to assault a serviceman, according to Department of Defense figures on actual sexual assaults in the military.

These findings echo other studies showing that homosexuals and lesbians are three to four times or more, more likely to engage in child sexual abuse than heterosexual men and women.

These findings show why we must stop the new move by the Obama administration to allow homosexuals to serve openly in the U.S. military.

“In country after country,” says Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of the Family Research Institute, a think tank in Colorado Springs, “a gay teacher is the most apt to molest a pupil, Likewise, in newly released data from the Illinois Dept. of Children & Family Services, a gay foster parent and a gay adoptive parent is the most apt to molest a [child].

“Without exception, whether it is a teacher, a foster parent, or an adoptive parent, a man is more apt to molest than a woman. Also without exception, an adult who engages in homosexuality is more apt to molest a pupil, a foster child, or an adoptive child than one who doesn’t.”

The rape figures are extrapolated from two DOD studies in 2007 and 2008 of sexual assaults in the military.

By the way, a homosexual teacher is 16 times more likely to sexually assault a student than a heterosexual male teacher, and a lesbian teacher is about three times more apt to do this than a straight female teacher.

For 40+ years now, the sadistic, deviates, leftist socialist and the power hungry greedy have sought to undermine and subvert our borders, our freedom, economy, our military and government..

They’ve done an excellent job so far.

The seeds they’ve sown have just started to grow. Wait until they see the full results of their efforts.
