I was in the military four months ago….I can tell you from personal experience that there are plenty of gay folks around and on many ships I served on, DADT wasn’t even enforced – people were open about it and didn’t care about other people’s personal lives

[...] The resolution is ridiculous, ignores the cautions of the Marine Corps commandant, the Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, and puts social experimentation and the wishes of a very small minority before national security and military cohesion. [...]

DADT is a bit silly. Everybody knows their gays in military — there always have been in every age in every society (some of history’s greatest military geniuses have been gay).

Oh, and by the way not all gays are “sodomites”.

I will vote against anyone who supports the President’s stand on any change of our military ‘s standards.

I believe the ultimate test is to determine whether an act is a sin in God’s eyes… The word ‘homosexual’ is a softened word that has been pressed upon society to replace the biblical word ‘sodomy’. This sin is an abomination to out Lord and to every society that has indulged itself in this manner. Rome and other societies fell from the decadence brought on by such sins as Sodomy.

Most military units in history have been bastions of homosexual activity, except in America. Most of these young victims have not been self-described homosexuals. Hence, this would cause the proliferation of more sexual addiction in a vast part of the heretofore nonaddictive part of the population. These activities were well known in the past as when Napoleon was offered services of prostitutes for his troops but said, “Mes hommes en sont suffit,” or “My men are enough.” We now know that such activities are dangerous in terms of disease, if not emotional trauma.

Just replacing the words gay and homosexual in your above screed, we get the following statements. I would like to know how you would like it if religion were outlawed?

Think for a moment of the current social controversies that could potentially be avoided if religious conduct was against the law.

Religiousness in the military: problem solved. We shouldn’t make a place for habitual felons in the armed forces. End of discussion, end of controversy. If someone objects, ask them which other felonies the military ought to overlook in screening recruits.

Religious marriage: problem solved. We should never legalize unions between any two people when the union is forged specifically to engage in felony behavior. Would we sanction, for instance, the formation of a corporation whose stated purpose was to import illegal drugs?

Religious indoctrination in the schools: problem solved. We don’t want to raise a generation of schoolchildren to believe that felony behavior is perfectly appropriate. That’s why we spend so much money warning students about the danger of drugs.

Religious crimes laws: problem solved. We wouldn’t throw a gay in jail for saying that illegal behavior is not only illegal but also immoral. For instance, he’s free to say that murder is not only contrary to man’s law but also to God’s law. End of the threat to freedom of sexuality and speech.

Special rights for religious in the workplace: problem solved. No employer should be forced to hire admitted felons to work for him. End of the threat to freedom of sexuality and freedom of association in the marketplace.

I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1947. My first duty station was the USS Tarawa CV40 (a large aircraft carrier). Even though it was a huge vessel, I can’t imagine the discomfort that would have been experienced had there been gays and lesbians aboard ship. While I recognize that men and women have the right to determine their own sexual identity, I firmly believe they have no place aboard a naval vessel!

I started my career while a draft still lived in 1972 [and have served in combat], the military is no place for social engineering, we live hard at the best of times and don’t need this too. The UCMJ is the laws we live under and things civilians take for granted and normal like adultry are against our law. These social engineers who have never served and have no intention to, but insist on telling others how uninformed and narrow minded they are need to learn that life isn’t always fair and move on.
