A New, Conservative Free Army


It is no secret that the left hates the American military. 

 

The American military represents the best of America.  They are our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, neighbors who serve our country. 

 

America, unlike many other countries, has never had to fear its military.  We have never had to fear the military being used by the regime to impose its will or even fear a military take over.  One of the great secrets of our military is that if such orders were given, eighty percent, or more, of the soldiers would refuse such orders.

 

The left hates the military because the military reflects the values that have made America great.  Love of country, love of neighbor and love of God.   Since Vietnam, the left has tried to make the military little more than another public works agency, thinking the military should only be used for “rescue” operations.

 

One of the most horrifying attacks on the military is now coming with the attack on “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” 

 

The main issue here is not the issue of gays serving in the military.

 

The issue is now the character of the military itself.

 

Lt. General Thomas Bostick is the Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of personnel matters.  In a recent speech at the European Command Headquarters, he likened those who objected to homosexuality on religious grounds as bigots and racists.   He also said, “they need to get with the program (the new policy that would allow gays to serve openly) or get out.”

 

The simple fact of the matter is the left cannot stand anything or anyone that disagrees with them.   Either someone must be forced to agree with the left or they or it must be destroyed.

 

The left is now fighting the conservative military culture on two fronts.  First, by telling anyone who disagrees with gays in the military to get out.  The soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who would “get out” are overwhelmingly conservative. Second, polls have shown that a significant number of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, particularly senior non-commissioned officers, would leave the military if the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” were repealed and gays could serve openly.

 

This fight is much more significant that the issue of gays in the military.  This issue is about the character of the military, which has served us so well for over two hundred years.   We cannot have a politically correct, politicized military.  Such a military would no longer be the guardian of American freedom.  It would become the greatest threat to freedom.

While I am not in support of homosexuality, I believe that this issue is well overblown. The US Army has been in the front of many similar issues.

During the War Between the States, there was much talk of violence and resignations if blacks were allowed to serve. Black men DID serve. Initially in support roles, but later in combat. And they served honorably and with distinction in the armies of both the North AND South. After that war, separate Negro units were a normal part of the Army establishment and served well in the Indian Wars (Buffalo soldiers, 9th & 10th Cavalry), Spanish-American War (9th & 10th Cavalry, 24th & 25th Infantry), WWI (369th, 370th, 371st, and 372nd Regiments, plus first black officers), and WWII ( 555th Parachute Inf., 761st Tank Battalion, Tuskeegee Airmen, 92nd Division). Finally, when President Truman issued the orders in 1948 to desegregate the Army, there were again threats of violence and mass resignations. But desegregated units fought hard and honorably in Korea and all conflicts since.

Again, the same issues occurred when talking about having women serve in the military. Initially, it was as nurses. Later, they drive trucks and flew airplanes in only support positions. Now, they serve in a wide variety of roles, including as combat pilots and soldiers in dangerous spots.

This will be a similar situation. People will make a big deal of it until it is shown that there is no adverse effect on military efficiency and discipline. Then, there will be no more talk about it.

Now, I am aware that homosexuality is exhibited by behavior. And that BEHAVIOR should continue to be regulated by military law, just like sexual activities between any other service members. But if a homosexual wants to serve in the military, then I see nothing wrong with that service, provided that they obey regulations.

I think the difference between homosexuality/homosexuals and normal people is of a different order or class category. While differences between races and gender (male/female..not cross dressers etc) can be made to work easily given time, the vast gulf between homosexual persons and normal people will be problematic because the very nature of the homosexual agendas and behavior is a culture destroyer in and of itself.

Of course if you wish to blend everything together one would be playing into the hands of liberals and homosexuals in their agenda to have it be that there are no such things as morals or right or wrong. This will eventually infect the schools, your family, your children and at some point the Christian religion will be destroyed.

To try to eliminate the distinction between homosexuals and hetrosexuals is a culture breaker and certainly in the milltary. Ultimately I just don't agree that the armed forces should be used for social experimentation even though some degree of compatiblity is obviously working at this point with the don't ask, don't tell ...if it was totally untenable we would have blood in the barracks at this very moment.

It ultimately over time, will allow almost anything that you wish to do re sexually, be it with children, same sex and even animals. At that point America and in fact the whole western civilization will trend into the sewer deeper and deeper. Of course we are about halfway there anyway so the argument could be to just proceed to the lowest standard available. Then there would be nothing to do except go back up to standards again. That will take a long time and culture, people, countries and families will suffer. Don't we all know what is right and wrong? I think we do and if we had a red button to push on the wrong things we would have done it long ago.

Human beings just never learn it seems.

You are also restricting the rights of many to cater to the rights of a few. Not practical. I don't care that Ellen and Portia want to spend the rest of their lives together. BUT if I was in the military, I would be very uncomfortable sharing a bathroom, sleeping quarters, etc with either of them. For me, it would be like sharing/living with men. Now tell me why I would have to be uncomfortable to make them comfortable? Why is the exception getting more allowances than the norm? Why are their rights more important than mine? You want to be gay, be gay! Wahoo! But I don't go around telling you my sexual preferences, fetishes, etc. - Out of Respect - Don't Tell Me Yours!

You are so right. Why is that our country is run by the few and that their rights are so much more important than the majority.
God Bless America and I hope as much as everyone I know that this election will bring us all some relief.

I am a Christian,but Ido believe in many Libertarian principles.I think the best way a "gay" person could act is like Truman Capote,admit it & then shut up.

You hit the nail on the head,your statement is accurate and very well explained,as a conservative with some libertarian leanings I could not of done a better job than you explaininghow libertarianism and conservatism are similar, over-lap one another from time to time but not exactly the same at all.

Every poll I've seen favors DADT.

Yes, the liberals hate the military and they are demonstrating it through other actions than the DADT policy. Once again the national budget for the military has been decreased. Men and women who have served and received an Honorable Discharge are finding it very difficult to be accepted into Officers' Training upon completing a bachelor's degree.
Harvard policy is to block the ROTC from participating in their University, yet illegal's are accepted under the provisions of the Dream Act. The government has been tying the hands of the active service since Vietnam and continued to do so until Fallujah and the Surge. If gays and lesbians want to serve their country I believe that it is their right as a US citizen. Their performance can not in any way inhibit the mission and performance of their fellow service men and women.

It's not a disagreement with issues or viewpoints that makes one bigoted or racist, it's the act of judging someone based on superficial attributes, denial of rights based on those attributes or assigning a broadly-painted (usually negative) generalization to ALL members of a certain group.

It's just a point of social norms. There has to be some line between our public and private behavior. An example of a social norm is that people when in public must have cloths on.A naked person would kind of be "Out of place" in this situation. They would actually be inviting ridicule with this behavior.
Most people don't have a problem with it but when it's rubbed in your face everywhere through media etc. it creates far more distance than the propagandists think it convinces.
Kind of like Obama care.
The whole ball of wax is coming undone. The liberal lies of a century are finally breaking through.
Maybe we SHOULD thank Mr. Mao for awakening us to our eroded rights and over(WAY)
reaching freedom suffocating federal AND State governments.

That's just silly. There is no other species that will avoid sexual activity with another of the opposite gender. Animals will often attempt to breed with anything they are safely able to attempt with, regardless of gender and even species. Animals will try to mate with inanimate objects, but hey, they are animals, what do you expect? I'm sure most human beings would rather not be compared with some cat who would just as soon try to mate with a dog as a female cat!!
