I have a question this guy doesn’t ask. What happens when a gay officer gets the hots for one, or more, of his men(likewise a lesbian officer had her troops)? Will the officer show favoritism? You bet they will, like wise what if a straight trooper, male or female, turns down the advances of a gay officer?
Oh but congress has told us a number of times that if Lieutt. Enslin of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment were facing Court Martial today it would not get even inquiry. We are -it seems no longer a Moral and Religious people.At least that is the America Congress sees.
I constantly keep in mind something I read once, “Military justice is to justice as military music is to music.” Having served one hitch in the Navy I have an idea of what that means. It will be interesting to see what military justice is served up in cases such as you suggest.
On a combat level this gets the officer fragged. It is one of the INTENTS of this agenda, to reduce the fighting effectiveness of warrior units. Since the “point of the spear” can only be effective with tried and true methods, this breaks down command structure immediately. A social experiment with our military that will fail.
We should all worry about what that failure will mean for our sons and daughters who are not of this persuasion, and indeed for the security of our nation. The other nations cited as doing this, are all LESSER military powers. One notes that the Russian military does not tolerate this at all, male or female.
We had a warrant Officer overseas who showed the signs of an alternative lifestyle who started giving another soldier in our section all kinds of “good duties” and good duty locations to boot because we were pretty sure he had the hots for him. We all had our suspicions but that is as far as it went. Those of us who wouldn’t “work late” with him on his special projects were deemed non-team players and given less coveted duties.
This will be a huge problem within the ranks and not just that but the flagrant abuse of the EO complaint system when an “alternative” soldier doesn’t get his/her way will abound as it does now with just a male and female scenario.
