I agree with this; but does that include laws of the land to enforce what we KNOW is morally correct, but which is a religious morality? And should that be applied to every sin?
I've always wondered why there wasn't more on an outrage about our military soldiers having "shore leave" -- adultery and fornication is a sin, but only certain types of adultery seem to be of concern in the military.
I oppose this repeal, because I see this as an attack on our culture by a militant group concerned more with changing normalcy than getting along or being allowed to serve.
Still, this was the inevitable result of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". It used to be illegal to be gay in the military. When we changed that to "be gay, just don't let us know about it", we set up for today -- a generation of gay soldiers as "proof" it doesn't matter.
When in fact, the key I think was that gay sexual activity was banned; I think we need to still prohibit all gay sex between military members, and that will be the biggest fallout from repeal.
Agree 100% with you on this. Standards of conduct should not change regardless of the status of DADT.
“I agree with this; but does that include laws of the land to enforce what we KNOW is morally correct, but which is a religious morality?”
I contend that the majority of our problems stems from deviation from Judeo-Christian principles. Morality without Christianity is like vapor- dissipated on the winds of the situation. Our government was designed with this sort of thinking in mind; while they envisioned a land where it was possible not to be Christian, the Founders at no point imagined the gross paganization and descent into barbarism taking place now.
“When in fact, the key I think was that gay sexual activity was banned; I think we need to still prohibit all gay sex between military members, and that will be the biggest fallout from repeal.”
The biggest fallout will come later. Failure to promote an openly gay person will result in a lawsuit; likewise, gays in positions of power will promote other gays, and lawsuits by straight soldiers will fail, as will sexual harassment complaints. Also, the military will be forced to recognize gay couplings as legitimate as marriage, and that opens the door to having it made law throughout the rest of the society.

I think you are correct here, for the most part. I think though, that they had someone behind them who desired to weaken the US military and that it is all a part of this:
