[Veto!]

What a great idea. Our troops can bravely swish into battle. What could possibly go wrong?

The Communist Purge Is Growing Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

That ought to piss off plenty of people around the world.

[Old Grumpy]

I’m very embarrassed for our country. We are sinking to new LOWS every day. I’ll bet the rest of the world is laughing uproariously at our humiliation.

[right way right]

This is a military being created to kill Christians.

It won’t be long until Ft. Bragg must fly a flag showing a queer having sex with a goat.

This perversion in the military has been going on for some time. For example, in June, 2014, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) hosted its second annual Pride Month event in Washington, D.C. A June 20, 2014, DIA press release, "DIA celebrates Pride Month: ‘Be proud of who you are’" stated:

Kristin Beck, the first openly transgender retired Navy SEAL, was the keynote speaker, and the event featured a panel of military officials at DIA who addressed current issues facing the LGBT community and addressed policies affecting the community in the DOD.

DIA Director Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s opening remarks stressed the importance of maximizing the potential of every employee at DIA.

“I want everybody to come in every day to be their best,” Flynn said. “I don’t want people to be worrying about who they are or that somebody might say something negative. We can’t live like that.”

Fostering an inclusive and accepting environment that is comfortable and proud of its diversity has been one of the core principles for Flynn during his time at DIA. He concluded his remarks simply, but firmly: “Be proud of who you are.”

Kristin Beck delivered a poignant keynote address, imploring attendees to stop defining an individual simply by what they see on the outside, and accept and respect who that individual truly is on the inside.
