Obama to End Military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Policy
Here's another expected consequence of the "change" that Obama plans to bring to our country. This one gives more "acceptance" to homosexuality - exactly the opposite course of action that should be taken. It is so shameful! It will be next to impossible to reverse these kinds of changes in the near future.

How will this destroy the military?

And who said we won't see change??? :BangHead:

And not to belabor the point, but homosexual behavior is already legal in the USA. It ain't for me, but I am not going to worry about what people do in their private homes...I am more concerned with reaching them in their hearts. Change hearts and you change attitudes and behavior.

I was hoping we could get one more conservative as CINC before I retire from the Reserves so I wouldn't have to see the policy change. I have four years to go. Maybe it'll take him that long to get it implimented.

Yes, there may have been some - I doubt it was "many" - who surely did die for our country but that does not mean their sacrifice justified their conduct nor necessitated that we call on them for it nor that we change the norm to accept their conduct just so they can serve. That kind of justification is increasingly being used for all sorts of things.
There needs to be good standards of personal conduct in all institutions. Homosexual conduct does not represent such a standard. I would not want to be commanded by a senior officer who was a known and open homosexual. That is by no means the only standard but it is the one of this topic. Such things were once very important to us in our society.
The "don't tell" was the last restraint that keep it homosexual conduct somewhat out of sight and just between those of like kind. Removing that final restraint will make it blatant in your face type conduct that will pressure everyone else to accept it because they will be unable to oppose it under force of law.
That is the goal of supporters of homosexual conduct. They want to make it protected so there can be no objections even voiced against it. In such an environment there will be more drawn into this perverted sin. -
With that I shall leave it, as I think we are approaching the ban on discussion of human sexuality in the open forum. Perhaps this should be moved. -

What this means is, that's up to 70% of the military force that will have to be replaced; and the big question is, how will we replace them?
If the prevailing sentiment of the military is any indicator of the national attitude, then how many people will willingly enlist?
This is how the military will be destroyed. Or, at the very least, hurt. -

"don't ask, don't tell" seemed to be in effect when I served, from '79-'83.
There was no shortage of gay people in the Navy. But they kept to themselves.
Now, with women serving in combat roles, and this going on, I don't see any of it as good news. It's hard enough to keep your mind on your watch station, without any kind of sexual tension involved. On our ship, even reading a book while on watch meant 2 hours scrubbing out the bilge. You need to be aware.
Another thing.....Now I hear even the prestigious "Pollywog to Shellback" initiation has been done away with, because of the feminization of the military.
I never had a problem with gays in the Navy. None of them ever got beaten up, or thrown overboard. I still don't. But I find it awfully hard to celebrate these kinds of things. -
If these patriots want to serve our country they should have our support.
I'm sure we would not approve of a lot of the bedroom behaviors of our heterosexual soldiers but they too deserve our love, support and prayers. -

Your mistake is to think that homosexuality is simply about bedroom behavior. And the homosexual agenda of being accepted into the military isn't about being a patriot. It is only about forcing the acceptance of their ungodly behavior on the country. There is nothing patriotic about homosexuality. As far as deserving our love, prayers and support two out of three are correct. They deserve our love and prayers as any lost person who is headed for hell does. They do not deserve our support. And such a suggestion is most likely against the posting rules of this board.
