#1 He really shouldn't have expressed his misgivings while in uniform, but his heart is, IMHO, in the right place and his observations true....

In other words the new Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy applies to Christians and Christian morals but homosexuals are allowed to not only be openly in your face but also Christian places of worship must be forced to adhere to homosexual immorality contrary to the scripture of the Christian faith...

IN UNIFORM.

NOT!!

Lets brush up on a few things here. Every aspect of an individuals life is accountable to his God on his day of judgment based on any faith. While he is going down the journey called life, there is a place that he and those of his faith set aside for communion with the God of that faith, usually a Chapel, Synagogue, Mosque, etc.. For people who refuse to acknowledge a god or who refuse to abide by the laws and statutes of the god of a faith to demand that THEIR sinful actions be carried out in a holy place to that faith is outrageous. (Homosexual soldiers demand the same treatment at a Mosque and see what happens to you!)

A soldier of the United States of America not only SHOULD take a stand for freedom of religion, any soldier who does not take a stand for freedom of religion or any other component of the Constitution of the United States of America should be court marshaled and thrown UNDER the brig. Any homosexual soldier who demands that actions clearly viewed unfavorably by a faith be carried out in a Mosque or Chapel or Synagogue should be court marshaled and thrown UNDER the brig.

#2 The end game is to force conservative Christians out of the military.

...out of the military AND the nation.

#3 It's going to be a bitch when recruiting straight white males is near impossible. What's there to die for? Can't reintroduce the draft without it being ignored as women aren't going to be inducted in equal or (to make up for past discrimination) greater numbers. By fragmenting society, the individual can ask - why should I die for group A, B, or C, or the culture of urbanists oligarchs.

Recruiters have the hardest time in urban areas. Back in 2005, the Department of Defense concluded that urban high schools were the source of most problems. Not because of leftist teachers in some of those schools trying to keep recruiters out, but because so many potential recruits had to be turned down because of the poor education they had received in those schools. While only a fifth of Americans live outside cities and suburbs, nearly half of the qualified recruits come from these rural areas. What's strange about all this is that the rural areas spend much less, per pupil, on education but get much better results than urban schools. Part of this can be attributed to differences in cost of living, but a lot of it has to do with simply getting more done with less. Per capita, young people in rural areas are over 20 percent more likely to join the army, than those of the same age in urban areas.

The rural recruits are also a lot easier to train and generally make better soldiers. The urban recruits often have a bad attitude, as well as a difficult time getting along with others and following instructions. The urban schools deserve some of the blame for this, while rural schools tend to be far more orderly and put more emphasis on civic responsibility. Many of the urban recruits are aware of these problems and joined the service to learn useful (for getting a job) social skills. Those skills are more often found among rural recruits because out in the boondocks, people are more involved with local government and more involved in general. This has been noted in urban neighborhoods and for decades many urban parents have sought to send their kids to live with kin in the country to get the child away from the bad influences of urban life. Over the last decade there's been a movement by parents back to the rural areas. Urban areas may be more exciting, and offer more employment opportunities, but they are a tough place to raise kids or find suitable recruits for the military. - Strategy Page

#4 It's going to be a bitch when recruiting straight white males is near impossible.

You've just identified an administration goal, the ultimate endgame. It's been a progressive goal for decades.

#5 ...as they are wrapped up in their own corrupt fantasy vision of the world. History and nature abhors a vacuum. Their power can't stand without bodies to protect their artificial world and they're creating chaos in the world and national power structures that will lead to threats externally and internally that can't be resisted without that 'consent' (ie willingness to give the last full measure of devotion). Like any parasite, it'll die with the host its infected. That's the ultimate end.

#6 Yet Maj. Nidal Hasan openly expressed his opinions and the military bent over backwards to protect his 1st amendment rights - until 13 serviceman were murdered.

In fact they are still bending over backwards to protect him by refusing to call it an act of terrorism.

This is directed specifically at Christians (and Jews). I seriously doubt this would have happened if he was a Muslim.

#7 Omavimble Stalin3583 - I agree 100% with you, but todays military will not allow men and women of good conscience to express their Christian-base beliefs, at least while in uniform (however that may be defined.). My statement that he "...shouldn't..." was not judgmental, but more an observation that he stuck his neck out a little farther than prudent for our unfortunate but present circumstances; the PC "lawnmower," as designed, cuts very close to the root. Hopefully, the pendulum is set to swing back....

#8 For the scrawny third world kenyon Hussein and his regime's attempt to establish his Emperor status and to use "PC" to strip the Citizen Soldier of his or her rights as a citizen so that he can convert the military into his Praetorium Guard will end up with Hussein getting his and the members of his regime's asses "royally" kicked.

The American soldier is a Citizen first and soldier second with all rights therefore enshrined in the United States Constitution. Any Commanding Officer up to and including the Commander in Chief who attempts to clearly circumvent the United States Constitution with extraordinary actions or orders to the Citizen Soldier to violate US Law or attempting to punish the US Citizen in uniform for abiding by United States law, must be and will be charged with Treason.

THAT is the resolute position any US Citizen Soldier under oath to uphold United States Law and the United States Constution in and out of uniform.
