A prominent activist for homosexual rights in the military is awaiting trial for forcible sodomy and abusive sexual contact, the Washington Blade reports.
Air Force Lt. Joshua Seefried was initially charged in April, a development that went largely unreported by the media. The charges came about after complaints from U.S. Marine Lt. Edgar Luna, who is also homosexual.
On a weekend in May of 2012, Seefried had gathered with a group of homosexual military officers in New York City. Luna was also present, and the group was celebrating the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which Seefried’s organization, called OutServe, had anonymously worked with several of the officers at the event to remove. After a few drinks at a restaurant, Seefried invited some of the officers to join him at his hotel spa. Later, Seefried and Luna reportedly separated off to a private hotel room.
Luna alleged that Seefried then made non-consensual advances on him, but couldn’t remember almost anything that had happened to him after the restaurant because of extreme intoxication. Luna awoke shortly after the incident, totally disoriented and naked.
After an almost nine-hour hearing on whether the charges should go to trial by court-martial, Major General Darryl Burke overrode complaints that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to proceed. Seefried’s commanding officer at Fort Meade, Lt. Col. Michael Goodwin, then tacked on the charge of abusive sexual contact.
Richard Stevens, Seefried’s civilian lawyer, argued that the rush to push the case to a court martial trial was fear-based, owing to possible political consequences that Burke and Goodwin might face. But prosecutor Maj. Mark Rosenow shot back, saying that Stevens hadn’t provided a shred of evidence to suggest that either Burke or Goodwin were influenced by politics. Burke reiterated that he had made his decision after careful consultation with military lawyers. The trial is set to move forward next month at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
Let’s see. They stick people who are attracted to each other and say that nothing can happen. Then deny anything ever goes wrong...
Not sure I get your meaning. The context of my post in contrast with your response has me puzzled I guess.
I think the tenth plague has been carried out so many times (via abortion) that we’ve gone well past that phase.
Rape has went up in the Armed Forces, SODOMITE RAPE. The media will not tell the true story. No way I would recommend service in the military to any young American. And I say that with a heavy heart because I retired as a senior NCO.
Make that “Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force”
No they haven't, you can tell because they still serve.
I will bet they are short timers whether they know it or not.
This World is Not My Home Maybe Merle can cheer you up.
It was an unknown in any unit I served in. 56 to 65 Army and Navy.
They claim that straight men are committing these rapes. They (military) refuse to tell the truth or they are getting this info from homosexual activists.
The military didn’t tolerate sodomy until the imposter in chief came along. Sodomy has always been detrimental to good order and military discipline. They were discharged for 200 years for “the crime of sodomy”, with apathy and defective attitude thrown in for good measure. But the fraud in chief knows more about the nature and effects of sodomy on military service than George Washington and 200 years of military order and discipline, so now these predators are all over the US military bullying soldiers and in some cases raping them. Disgusting and pathetic.
My last hope for the military was the Marine Corpse. Yes, I know the vast majority of male Marines are red-blooded Americans who love women and still fight as Marines, but this is just the beginning.
this admin , the media , and the activists are doing their best to cover up the failure and crimes of homosexuals serving openly.
It’s a disgrace plain and simple and the military as well as the men serving are being degraded.
They lie because they are deliberately trying to harm the military and this country which is just one more act of treason in a long line of acts of treason. Don’t forget, when Bradley Manning was busted for releasing the largest set of classified documents to the public in this Nations history, Obama immediately overturned DADT. Why? Because he saw the damage one fag can do when they go into their fag bitch snits, and he wasted no time making sure more got in.
Damn Obama and his queers in the military.
They will be judged by God and hopefully these queers and the queer enablers will burn in hell
I suppose this guy just asked for it right? Like the women who are ‘dumb as rocks’?
It is no different than bestiality.
Indeed. The destruction of our military was the feminist and homosexualist agenda’s goal all along.
Sorry. I ain’t going through the Tribulation. I think Scripture is CLEAR of a PRE Trib Rapture of the Church. Paul made it clear and Jesus Christ Himself made it crystal clear that we WOULD NOT suffer His wrath! That tells me that we ain’t going through it. I believe that the LORD will appear in the air and call His bride home before the Trib. What bride would want to be beaten, bruised, hit, damaged, harmed, killed, BEFORE the wedding?? The bride will be called home before the wrath of the LORD is lowered on this sinful and unbelieving world. While the Trib is occurring here on this cess pool of an earth, we will be at the Marriage Feast of the Lamb. As stated above, Scripture is CRYSTAL CLEAR of a pre trib rapture. One cannot simply pick and choose a line of Scripture here and there and make a complete doctrinal statement off it. So, if you want to go through the Trib, as some say, to be purified, I ain’t gonna be there. The LORD purified us on the Cross at Calvary. We don’t need to go through the Trib to be cleansed either as some seem to believe. Again, HE cleansed us at the Cross. Nuff said. I’m listening for that call to come home. So, Keep looking up, our redemption draws near, as the Word says.
Thank you for your service, sir.
I tell kids the same thing. I would not serve in today’s navy. It is not the navy I served in.
