Petraeus Aide: Soldiers Who Can't Handle DADT Repeal Should Leave Service

Troops who can't accept the idea of overturning the ban on gays in the military should consider leaving the service, says a senior aide to Gen. David Petraeus.

Command Sergeant Major Marvin Hill tells TV One's "Washington Watch" that he believes "the troops are ready" for the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

"If there are people who cannot deal with the change, then they're going to have to do what's best for their troops and best for the organization and best for the military service and exit the military service, so that we can move forward -- if that's the way that we have to go," Hill says in an interview with Roland Martin, scheduled to air Sunday.

Hill says it will be up to military brass to "set the tone" for the rank-and-file in accepting gay service members.

"We know that if there is a change, that that change will have to be led, and it's going to have to be led by senior leaders such as myself and -- and others across the battlefield," Hill says.

May 24, 2010 – SPECIAL REPORT from WAYNE MADSEN.

Obama and Emanuel: Members of same gay bath house in Chicago

President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bath house in uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago’s gay community, as well as veteran political sources in the city.

The bath house, Man’s Country, caters to older white men and it has been in business for some 30 years and is known as one of uptown Chicago’s “grand old bathhouses.” WMR was told by sources who are familiar with the bath house that it provides one-year “lifetime” memberships to paying customers and that the club’s computerized files and pre-computer paper files, include membership information for both Obama and Emanuel. The data is as anonymized as possible for confidentiality purposes. However, sources close to “Man’s Country” believe the U.S. Secret Service has purged the computer and filing cabinet files of the membership data on Obama and Emanuel.

Members of Man’s Country are also issued club identification cards. WMR learned that Obama and Emanuel possessed the ID cards, which were required for entry.

Obama began frequenting Man’s Country in the mid-1990s, during the time he transitioned from a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School to his election as an Illinois State Senator in 1996. Emanuel, reportedly joined Man’s Country after he left the Clinton White Hosue and moved back to Chicago in 1998, joining the investment firm of Wasserstein Perella and maintaining his membership during his 2002 campaign for the U.S. 5th District House seat vacated by Rod Blagojevich, who was elected governor.

Man’s Country appears to be a “one stop shopping” center for gay men. The club’s website advertises steam rooms, “fantasy rooms,” bed rooms, male strippers, adult movies, and lockers.

However, Man’s Country was not the only location for Obama’s predatory gay sex activities. The Chicago gay community is aware that Obama often made contacts with younger men at his famous “pick-up basketball” games. It was at these “pick up” matches where Obama first met Emanuel and a young Democratic campaign worker and senior bank vice president named Alexi Giannoulias. Currently running for Obama’s old U.S. Senate seat now occupied by Roland Burris, Giannoulias successfully ran for Illinois Treasurer in 2006 after being drafted for the run by Chicago’s Democratic machine.

free education for all
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Free”, collectivist, socialist-funded, government-compelled education started the rot! It started when the first government schools opened in the mid-1800s to early 1900’s.

If children are sent to godless, collectivist, socialist-funded, compulsory, government schools they **WILL** learn to be comfortable with and even worship:

**godlessness
**collectivism
**socialism
**government compulsion
**government ownership and management of social goods and services.

One to two generations of collectivist government education:

John Dewey, Upton Sinclair and his Fabian socialists ( communists really), unions, feminism, direct election of Senators, Woodrow Wilson and his failed “one world” League of Nations, the IRS, and federal reserve.

Two to three generations of collectivist and lukewarm generic Protestant government schooling:

Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal

Three to four generations of ( by then) essentially godless collectivist government schooling:

Lyndon B. Johnson and his Great Society

Four to Five generations of ( by now) **utterly** godless and virulently anti-Christian collectivist schooling:

Obama with his Obamacare, flat out Marxism, and coming Death Panels

Next generation citizens in godless, collectivist, government schools:

Death camps and full blown tyranny!

is that most of the clowns who advocate this crap don’t even realize that they are just pawns and will be discarded by the progressive elite when the destruction is complete.

"All decent men WILL leave. I’ve had reverence all my life for the military, but I now see a point in the near future where I really won’t have any respect for anyone wearing the uniform."

Well, one of the Village People was a military man...

Okay, I’m an ex-zoomie

What does a CIB indicate? That the soldier is in the infantry or that he is qualified?

What a Combat Action Badge indicate?

I actually do know what a REMF is... hehehehe

If by chance I get called up, it’s not Canada, it’s Israel.

You may want to brush up on Israel's policy regarding gays in the military.

I think they will leave. Thats the problem...

Where are they going to go? Any service member who leaves the military out of disgust towards the presence of open homosexuals will be in for a surprise when they enter the civilian workforce. In case nobody's noticed, corporate America has become quite gay-friendly over the years --at least it was the last time I was a civilian.

Okay. Let anyone out of his commitment without any penalty if that’s the case.

People 40 plus in age should be allowed to join the Army. I’m sure there are some 50 something Freepers that could out-shoot, out-command, and out-run most of the grunts in the Armed Forces.

They only want people who are young enough to brainwash.

There was a time when kids would admit to homosexuality in order to avoid the draft. My how times have changed!

Command Sgt. Maj. Marvin Hill, incoming command sergeant major

Did he get this job for saying this? Just asking. Or was it rotation time and he was next in line?

I seriously doubt that such a senior NCO would say anything political like this without having been commanded to do so.

>“Sarge yelled at me” will get Sarge in the stockade.

Ironically it was a sergeant yelling at me that [helped] convince me to get out when my enlistment was up; it wasn’t about needing to ‘straighten up’ or anything like that: it was about the Constitution. I was talking with some of my fellow soldiers, as we were waiting for a veteran’s day parade to begin [just after the 2008 election] and said something to the effect of “if Obama turns out to be ineligible then it is the Army’s duty to remove him.” {Obviously, as every member of the Army swears an oath to the Constitution.}

Look at it this way:

It will increase the amount of experienced, trained and dedicated personnel available for the 2nd Continental Army.
