Michael D. Shear ^ | 5/24/13 | New York Times

Annapolis, Md. - President Obama used a commencement speech before Naval Academy graduates on Friday to urge them to follow an “inner compass” and to warn that rising numbers of sexual assaults in the military threatened to erode America’s faith in the armed forces. The president praised the military as the nation’s “most trusted institution,” but took note of the recent cases in which service members have been charged with sexual assault. He said those people “threaten the trust and discipline which makes our military strong.” “We need your honor, that inner compass that guides

First the leftists mix genders in the military, then they normalize homosexuals in the military, then they complain about 'sexual assault' in the military.

Its almost as if they have some specific plan in mind.

“...to warn that rising numbers of sexual assaults in the military threatened to erode America’s faith in the armed forces...”

Some reporter brought this up to Carney a couple of days ago. Carney said the White House was unaware of the issue, but what he said next knocked me out of my chair. Carney said that every US Serviceman needs to know that the President has their back.

He said this under the backdrop of two servicemen who died in Benghazi because the President refused to send help.

The liberals won’t tell you this; it would make their decision on homosexuals in the military look bad; and homosexuals generally.

Washington Times
Victims of sex assaults in military are mostly men.

More military men than women are sexually abused in the ranks each year, a Pentagon survey shows, highlighting the underreporting of male-on-male assaults.
When the Defense Department released the results of its anonymous sexual abuse survey this month and concluded that 26,000 service members were victims in fiscal 2012, which ended Sept. 30, an automatic assumption was that most were women. But roughly 14,000 of the victims were male and 12,000 female, according to a scientific survey sample produced by the Pentagon.

Yes, indeedy.

The far far left has always loathed the US military.

They have also always used sex to set people against each other, destroy the family, etc. so they can fill the power vacuum.

Combine the 2...voila...massive control.

When the Commander in Chief (Bill Clinton) was charged with sexual harassment in the workplace (unwanted advances, intimidation, threats, criminal conspiracy to hide evidence, coerced perjury of witnesses, bribery of witnesses, and even rape), we were told that it was “just sex”.

What’s different now, Big O?

Any speech he makes, commencement or otherwise, is self serving. The audience need to be appropriate to the message as long as the cameras are capturing the propaganda and it gets propagated to the intended audience by his propagandistic media

Is it just me or does it seem like Obama only speaks to VERY young audiences, high school, colleges or people like this that really can’t say much back to him?
