I know veterans that are war heroes. Real heroes….the kind that rushed the machine gun nest in the Ardennes and took out the enfilade enemy fire with a hand grenade that was decimating their platoon during WW II (they are very old men now). Others humped the rice paddies of Vietnam, doing their duty without fanfare….but heroes nonetheless. Still others were maintainers, supply officers, or medics.

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.

God bless you sir...

A request if I may. Would you please email this message so I can pass it on to the Senator's office who is stading up for our veterans on this issue. We're expecting a measured but firm response even though our local veterans groups are slow to step up. I need your help!
