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.

“You had better be at attention when addressing an E-9.”

Since the military went PC a few decades ago there is little to respect of a person that had to play politics versus playing soldier and earning respect to gain such rank.

“It’s who you know and who you blow.”

"Moving forward" equals accepting open sodomites in the ranks.

"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever." ~Thomas Jefferson

My prediction: a homo-positive military will have few qualms if they are used to suppress citizens of their own country.

My plea to our military members: please adopt the slogan "Don't leave, do resist."

Sergeant Major....you aren’t a leader, you are an ass kisser. Always do the RIGHT thing....tell the “brass” that this how debacle is a serious mistake and you won’t activilly support it.

“Let the military then become a haven for faggots and dykes, openly, and the Real Men will leave.

Isn’t this how Rome fell?”

Rome fell due to population decline, polluting themselves to sickening levels (lead in their drinking and bathing water, not to mention cups). That combined with the leadership all becoming extreme narcissists. Plenty of that going on, though it didn’t take the repeal of DADT being suggested to show that most of our politicians are narcissists, that’s been fairly obvious for a long time.

Can you imagine this TRAITOR?...

I can understand Hussein Obama and McCain and his wacko family being for this FAGGOTS, but a "General" of our Military Forces being in favor of transforming this institution into into a QUEER SOCIAL ENGINEERING experiment?

This BASTARD proves the point (well, many points), that this issue has ALREADY become a distraction to what should be the ONLY PURPOSE of our Military... To fight in the defense of our country, that's all.

You had better be at attention when addressing an E-9.

Really? When was this change implemented?

I spent 20 years (3 of them as a Drill Sergeant) teaching Soldiers to stand at attention when addressing officers, and to assume the position of parade rest when addressing NCO's... even CSM's.

From the comments of the article.

If a guy is married with children he is not gay but rather bi-sexual. Very prevalent among macho narcistic types lacking a father figure or positive male role model. There is a high rate of bi-sexual activity among black men due to the lack of male role models, dominant female roles, social-stigma and drug use.

Black women have traditionaly raised thier children alone, and have created dominant female roles. The stigma of being a “black homosexual” is largely socially unacceptable in black communities and even among homosexuals themselves.

It remains well hidden behind the skirt of a trophy dominant female and children. Statistics show that black women were at the largest risk of contracting HIV from their males, due to black male bi-sexuality and clandesdine relationships.

The prevalent drug use has brought out the very worst moral-cultural groups this nation has ever seen, race being a very small factor in comparison to the rise in promiscuity, prostitution, crime, and taboo sexual practices.

Would it surprse me if Barry was bi-sexual? Not in the very least, he fits the profile to an absolute T. In fact, It would be more of a surprise if he wasn’t.
