Due to a perceived slight against homosexuality, Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk is in a fight for his career. The Lackland Air Force base first sergeant was told by his commanding officer to clear out his office on Aug. 9. The point of contention reportedly is not about anything Monk said, but what he refused to say.
"It's all because he didn't say anything wrong. He thought it," said Steven Branson, pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. Monk, his wife and their three teenage sons faithfully attend services each Sunday the pastor said.
Branson said he has been in touch with Monk since the sergeant told him Sunday (Aug. 11) of the untenable situation. The pastor said Monk feels abandoned by the institution he has served for 19 years. Deployed as a medic, Monk devoted himself to saving the lives of his fellow service men and women, according to his pastor.
"Now I'm in trouble," Monk told Branson, "and everybody's leaving me behind."

If she’s the CO it’s almost certain she probably didn’t join recently, which means she’s been fraudulently acting as a heterosexual until The Pink Panther got rid of DADT.
“A person must prove a competency, in the area of : Tolerance of Homosexuality.”
Heh. I managed to earn a degree successfully as one of those durn unreconstructed troglodytes. Can’t take it away from me now, liberals!
It is evident that the demorcrat party is as war with Christians and its spinoff,conservatism, and is purging the political offices and all its unions of the good news. If any one believes in his heart and confesses with his mouth how that Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins and rose again the third day ,he shall be saved. Satan is on the move world wide and the Christian influenced nation of America is under attack from the murderer and liar he is while he is using pawns of atheism who are servants. The democrats and their cohort rinos will die and open their eyes in hell as the rich man in the gospels did.
“It pains me but I would recommend any Christian to stay out of the military and for those in to end NOT re-up.”
I’ve been saying this for some time as well. The military is an entity
In which Christian values are no longer welcome. Please, FReepers and friends, steer your family members and other young people for whom you have a high regard AWAY from the military. I also strongly advise active-duty Christians to exit as soon as feasible.

.. I was thinking Tudor England - “I will not swear, and I will not say why I will not swear.”
At issue is Monk’s refusal to reveal his personal views regarding homosexual marriage to his commanding officer.
A modern day “Thomas Moore.”
This is out of control. The lesbian commander is out of control.

When I began to see the insidious metastatic invasion of Political Correctness in our society, I became an enemy of it immediately.
There are many liberal precepts I despise (such as moral relativism and open immigration) but of all of them, Political Correctness seems the most offensive to me.
As in Orwell’s 1984, with political correctness today, they expect you to police yourself and censor yourself. That really eats at me.
Normal people DO censor themselves, but we do it based on our own values, not values impressed on us by a government or the lackeys who work in it.
Be nice if they posted the carpet munchers name.. I’d send a few emails.
I have posted this before, but this was an experience I had back around 2010...
Open homosexuality in the military is disturbing to me on so many fronts.
I had the opportunity about three years ago to spend some time with a former USMC and Air National Guard pilot who retired as a Col. after 28 years. He had flown combat in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He had flown every fighter in the US inventory except for the F-22, and as I sat in his house looking at all the plaques on the wall, I could easily see this guy was Sierra Hotel. He’d gone to all schools, Top Gun, you name it. He had testimonials, pictures of him with famous people shaking hands, you could tell he made a mark.
His son was 16 years old. He was an impressive looking kid, crewcut, very athletic build, the most notable thing about him was his bearing. He met me at the door when I arrived, very polite and well spoken. He was wearing a USMC T-shirt, and looked like he was already in the Marines.
I spent about 4 hours with this career aviator, who had just retired from the military and was now flying Boeing airliners to Japan. He was a devout Christian, and told me that he had tendered his resignation because of the pro-homosexual policies he saw coming down from above. He did confess to me that the decision was probably easier for him to make because he was closer to retirement, and that there were going to be many younger officers like him who were going to be forced to make a decision that wasn’t going to be nearly as easy as his because they still had much of their careers in front of them.
He told me that he had made some DVDs dealing with the subject, but had not release them for public consumption. He talked to me about the homosexual agenda, and what their goals were. This man was not a bug eyed, spittle lipped fanatic. He was a well educated, religious man who spoke in even terms about this issue.
He spoke about his son. He said his son was trying to obtain an Olympic slot in judo, and had been preparing to join the Marines. He said that his son was very focused, and had his religion. His son stood off to the side as we spoke, listening intently to us, but not interrupting us. I must say that I was astonished that his son was only 16 years old. He seemed completely and totally mature and adult, in complete control of himself. His father turned to his son and said “Tell him what you’re reading right now.”
His son said that he was reading a book named “The Book of Chivalry”. (This Is a Write up from Amazon.Com: The Book of Chivalry is the most pragmatic of all surviving chivalric manuals. Written at the height of the Hundred Years War, it includes the essential commonplaces of knighthood in the mid-fourteenth century and gives a close-up view of what one knight in particular absorbed of the medieval world of ideas around him, what he rejected or ignored, and what he added from his experience in camp, court, and campaign. Geoffroi de Charny was one of the quintessential figures of his age, with honors and praise bestowed upon him from both sides of the English Channel. He prepared the Book of Chivalry as a guide for members of the Company of the Star, a new but short-lived order of knights created by Jean II of France in 1352 to rival the English Order of the Garter. Elspeth Kennedy here edits the original French text of Charny and provides a facing-page translation for the modern reader. Richard. W. Kaeuper’s historical study places both man and his work in full context. In the formal themes that give Charny’s book structure, and in his many tangential comments and asides, this work proves a rich source for investigating questions about the political, military, religious, and social history of the later Middle Ages. With this translation, the prowess and piety of knights, their capacity to express themselves, their common assumptions, their views on masculine virtue, women, and love once more come vividly to life.)
I think this book would’ve been difficult reading for me, and I consider myself pretty well read and well spoken. His son expounded at length for about 10 min. on this book. Not once did he hem or haw, pause, say the phrases “uh”, “ahh”, “you know”. He talked about the concepts in the book, and how the core of the book was about caring for people who are weaker than you are, and that was what chivalry was really all about. It was astonishing. The 16-year-old kid seemed so mature and focused, I hadn’t really met a 16-year-old kid like him before.
His father told me (while his son was standing there) that his son was going to wait until he was married to engage in a sexual relationship. He then turned to his son and said something to the effect of “This is his choice of his own free will, not mine. We’ve talked about this at length, and he has told me how terrible it would be if I were to go out and engage in promiscuous relationships, and how ashamed he, as my son, would feel about my behavior. As an extension, he understands how will it affect him in our relationship if he were to engage in such behavior.” When I looked at his son, he looked easily at and said with no discomfort, shame or reticence “It’s true.”
His father turned to me and said “My son had been planning to join the Marines. He had been considering making a career of the military. He has decided, because of these policies towards homosexuality, that he is not going to enter the military.” His father continued “These people, running things, implementing these rules and policies, would have my son at their mercy. Just think of what people like that would do to a young man like him. No, I did not influence his decision in any way. But if he had asked my counsel, I would have advised him of exactly the same course.”
I was stunned and dismayed. I looked at this young man who seemed incredibly talented, exactly the kind of person we want in our military. Thoughtful, educated, principled and mature. If you never read the book “Once an Eagle” by Anton Myrer, this kid would likely have been a living embodiment of the main character in that book, a book that is routinely read at the military academies to teach leadership.
Our government is driving away the kind of people our military has had, and needs the most, to continue to be the best in the world, and instead is openly recruiting and attracting the exact opposite. Taking all of this in was devastating to me. I saw immediately the devastation that these kind of policies regarding homosexuality are going to have our military.
I think that is why this particular incident hit me so hard.
The military now has a “Don’t Think, Don’t Tell” policy concerning Christianity.
Oh no! What they have is a scorched earth policy in regards to Christianity. Apparently if you even think wrong thoughts, that homosexuality is immoral you are punished.
Could I suggest the "Coming home network"?
Here is another rendition of the ongoing story at Lackland. You may or may not be interested. I , personally don’t like the way things are headed, but the majority of those who call themselves Americans said, via their votes, this is what they want.
That convicted thief Jessie, Jr. didn't do one thing for this country will get 8,700 a month for the rest of his life.
I hate to think what will happen to us if all the godly people left or stayed out of the military or politics.
There would be absolutely no restraint of the wicked.
How do you think 2% of the population is going to do that exactly?

Nope, that ship has sailed...
