Space Force general gives blistering speech at Pentagon Pride event slamming more than 400 anti-LGBTQ state-level bills she claims are forcing her to hire 'less qualified' candidates

A high-ranking Space Force officer has spoken out slamming a slew of recent anti-LGBTQ state laws, saying they have a negative impact on military families and force readiness.

Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt made the remarks in a fiery speech at the 12th Annual DoD LGBTQ+ Pride Event in Washington DC, saying that the laws sometimes forced her to choose 'less qualified' candidates for postings in those states.

'Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been introduced at the state level,' said Burt, the Space Force's deputy chief of space operations.

'That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole,' the general added.

Her being sworn in with two ‘Star Wars’ characters is one of the saddest jokes I have ever seen.

I just saw it. Sheer stupidity and unprofessional.

What a sad joke that must have our enemies howling with laughter.

Does she say how those bills keep her from hiring? I didn’t think there was a darn thing hindering the homosexuals and gender benders from the military. I think she’s full of stuffing and just playing to the alphabets. Sick of it all.

I don’t think it matters if she was in uniform or not

I remember when sodomy was a UCMJ offense.

When I enlisted in the summer of 1961, we were given a "do you have or have you had" checklist of diseases, illnesses and conditions to fill out. One of the items was "homosexual tendencies".

The woke ideology is eventually going to destroy the U.S. military

It's already done. Despite the things people are seeing around them with their own eyes every single day, they still think that the decline and destruction is off sometime in the future. It has already happened - that is why you are seeing it.

I recently ran across an online article explaining how high ranking officers have so many medals when most are just participation awards.

Is she allowed to make political speeches while in uniform and working for the Federal government?

It's laughable. If true, then the space force is heavily staffed with LGBTQ types. And what are these discriminatory laws? Examples please?

The following is an order given the Army by George Washington:

"The General is sorry to be informed —, that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little known in an American army, is growing into a fashion; — he hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms, if we insult it by impiety and folly; added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it."

This Woke "LGBTQ+ Pride" movement in the military is at least as much a national sin as the one General Washington wrote about.

Indeed, how can we expect the "blessing of Heaven on our arms, if we continue to tnsult it by impiety and folly"?

How?

So... that's her excuse for surrounding herself with lesbians.

She's good at wearing a costume, including that of a general officer who never led anyone anywhere.

By this statement, it appears that the general believes that homosexuals and trans sexuals are inherently more qualified than heterosexuals.

The Space Force was primarily formed to assure senior promotion paths for satellite specialists who were being overshadowed by pilots and combat arms officers in the Air Force (and to lesser extent other branches).

You had better believe the 3-stars and 4-stars are hand-picking the squadron and “delta” (i.e., wing) commanders.

Since January of this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ laws…

GOOD. Because I suspect those laws are for keeping filthy smut out of school classrooms and libraries, protecting children from being mutilated so their stupid woke parents can virtue signal and keeping vile, fetishist teachers from pushing their deviant sexual lifestyle crap on kids.
