Some of these men are recovering alcoholics. I stress the word "recovering." The have recognized their problem and their sin, but they deal with it. They would never, ever--wish that their service to this great nation be defined by their condition. Ever. That is their cross to carry .and most of them succeed and are proud of their victory over alcohol.
To see this display reeks of those who wish to "crawl into" the blanket of honor of those who have fought, died, and were wounded in service to our great nation. To give the Cliff Notes version: they are parasites of others service. Yes, there are people who have been afflicted by the sin of homosexuality who have (and are) serving in the military. There are also wife beaters, child molesters, Wiccans, obsessive gamblers, incest beasts, rapists, and murderers. But the majority are none of these as is the case for our American society in general.
This naked attempt to legitimize the blatant whiff of feces driven homosexual sex by donning the honor of our fallen military heroes is disgusting, transparent, and degrading. It is insulting, and shameful.
Shame....if only it were more common.
