Gays in the Military was not about Gays in the Military

Don't Ask, Don't Tell has been officially repealed

The strategy gay advocates inside government used to allow gays to serve openly in our armed forces was revealing (Yes, it was an inside job). The fanfare, the open advocacy of the gay lifestyle, indoctrinating the troops into the gay agenda and criminalizing dissent, carving out another protected, special-rights group for gays.  The government did not have to do all that to simply allow gays to serve.

The Department of Defense, with the concurrence of Congress and the President could simply have removed all laws from the UCMJ that criminalize homosexual acts and been done with it. Period. But no, this was not about gays in the military; it was about nationalizing gay marriage and shoving the acceptance of homosexuality in everyone’s faces and forcing us to bow down at the rainbow altar.

Gays in the military was about federalizing gay marriage by first boxing in the DoD. Step 1 is complete, now comes step 2...

NORFOLK, Va. — A gay rights group kicked off the repeal of the U.S. military's ban on openly gay troops with a protest outside the world's largest Navy base that called for an expansion of benefits for gay and lesbian military members.

"Same sex couples can't live on base together, they don't have medical benefits, they don't have travel allowances, they don't have housing allowances. They don't even have the right to be notified if their partner dies in battle." (Gazette.com)
Nor do unmarried opposite sex couples. You've got to be married to get those bennies, and the advocates know that. They have pitted the federal government against itself. In the name of fairness, DoD must now grant these benefits to every boyfriend and girlfriend. That will never happen.

Here's what will happen: A phalanx of well-funded lawyers will bring a suit against the federal government, forcing the DoD to accept gay marriages (Which are five times more likely to involve infidelity than hetero ones) and treat them the same as traditional ones.  And they will win.

* Late breaking news!  Now the trannies want in on the deal.  I don't know about you, but if someone can't find their gender with both hands I don't want them handling explosives and having other military members rely on them for mission success.
...................................
I have no problem with gays serving, but Western Hero co-blogger Hugh Farnham does, creating an editorial split.  Here's his take:

With the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, many military bases are getting copies of LGBT newspapers - for free. This is to help the gay base population to adjust to the new order of things. Hugh Farnham thought he'd help them out with this  (Right click and download to embiggen):

Is it wrong to allow a gay serviceperson's partner to live on base, or to receive notification in the event of death in service.

It doesn't seem that big a deal to me. If a soldier makes the ultimate sacrifice and dies in the field, why on earth would anyone object to notifying his or her partner?

Silverfiddle said...

Those are the same rules heterosexual partners must live by.

Constitutional Insurgent said...

It is somewhat amusing to see motivations assigned not only by outside parties, but by parties in opposition.

I have yet to receive any logical definition of how serving gays is a 'protected class'.

Hugh Farnham said...

My perspective is as a senior officer in a reserve component unit. DADT was tolerable as the gay lifestyle wasn't a protected topic. With the acceptance of the openly gay lifestyle, the Law of Unintended Consequences will begin to take hold.

Some time ago, I was given an "anonymous" survey as to my opinions on DADT repeal. I knew it was a sham at the time, but I completed it honestly anyhow. In a nutshell, this is what I told them:

- DADT repeal would be prejudicial to good order and discipline due to yet another protected class being created. Don't like the race card being used? Try the gay card. You've created another set of untouchables when upholding military standards.

- Good and moral soldiers would be driven out, either by their own choice or forced out by saying the "wrong" thing;

- Our military being slowly transformed from world class with a backbone to more like the French Army.

It turns out my intuition about the sham DADT repeal survey was correct. The administration trumpeted the Military would not object to DADT repeal. What they didn't tell you the survey was rigged - 54% of the respondents turned out to be Coast Guard members! There were other statistical distortions as well.

See these for background:

The evangelical may feel this way but you should be clear about the applicability. "Everyone" does not have your phobia.

jez said...

"Those are the same rules heterosexual partners must live by."

Except you want to uniquely privilege heterosexual couples with the opportunity for marriage. Stop pretending not to understand this.

Silverfiddle said...

You mean the "unique privilege" which has existed in every culture since time immemorial?

Not very unique when you think about it...

You accuse me of purposely not understanding, but I think you are the one who does not understand, and it's probably because you don't live in the US.

We have the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which effectively nationalized the issue against gay marriage. This is about overturning that law.

What I object to is the pink hand using DoD as a chessboard. The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things, no conduct social experiments.

Silverfiddle said...

@ Ducky: Damn, you fundies get all in a lather about the homos.

An ignorant statement. I had beers and bbq on my back deck this past weekend with some Vietnam vet friends, and this subject came up.

I doubt you could find a veteran who did not know at least one gay fellow soldier, sailor, airman or marine.

More telling, these gay people served unmolested because nobody ratted them out.

The only time a gay would get bounced was because of an attempted sexual assault on a non-gay member or because a cat fight broke out among a group of gays and spilled out into the open, disrupting their unit.

Military people don't care what others do on their off-duty time. You can build model airplane, drink yourself stupid or take college classes, nobody cares, so long as you can do your job.

I don't believe our military was ever intended to be a microcosm of society at large. Machismo may not be the most acceptable behavior in civil society but is exactly the behavior a well disciplined military unit needs. Soldiers give up a lot of their freedom of expression in order to protect all of our freedoms. This is a very slippery we slope we are going down and I don't see it ending well for America.

jez said...

"Not very unique when you think about it..."

You want it to be available uniquely (ie only, exclusively, solely) to heterosexual couples.

"You accuse me of purposely not understanding"

I do.

"The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things, no conduct social experiments."

I hope that the military addresses the broader requirements of national defence and doesn't focus narrowly on the kill kill kill and the cool explosions. If a man dies in the course of his duty, it is not a social experiment to inform his partner of whatever gender; it's just decent.

Ducky's here said...

Yes, Silverfiddle, you apparently have no problem with gays ... in there place.

Hack said...

There is a lot of back and forth going on among this debate but what it all boils down to is the simple question: Is homosexuality right or wrong? If you can answer this question everything else comes easily. The fact of the matter is human anatomy is designed to support heterosexual behavior, not homosexual. Homosexuality, by every indication, is wrong, unnatural behavior, just as bestiality is wrong, unnatural behavior. That's all there is to it.

Jersey McJones said...

Gay marraige is already legal in some states, so I would imagine the military would have to accomodate married gay members, right?

Gay marraige is becoming a reality in the country, and like desegregaton before it, the military should be ahead of the curve on this.

It's good for the military and good for America. For those of you who have a problem with gay people, tough shit. Grow up.

@ Jersey: Gay marraige is already legal in some states, so I would imagine the military would have to accomodate married gay members, right?

It all comes down to DOMA.

And tell me why this is good for the military?

Jez: The "death notification" issue is a red herring. You fill out paperwork stating who you want to be notified in the case of death. You can write down whoever you want.

Silverfiddle said...

No Ducky. As I said, nobody cares what you do on your own time. Don't make everybody take indoctrination sessions on it and don't create yet another class of protected species.

Rob said...

I have an openly-gay friend who frequently rants about Chik-fil-A since that company has close ties with organizations (like Focus on the Family) who are perceived as anti-gay. ("Perceived" may be a bit nice since Chick-fil-A's charitable arm, the WinShape Foundation, actively opposes gay marriage.)

But here's my thing: what the hell does your sexual preferences have to do with a chicken sammich?

Much like some non-Caucasian people make race a much greater issue than it should be, some gays make their lifestyle choices far too much of an issue.

I don't thrust (rimshot!) my heterosexuality into each and every conversation. That I prefer super crunchy peanut butter isn't a pivotal issue at my workplace, so why should something much, much more private ever be?

Exercise some personal discretion, folks!

OD357 said...

The military has always been a political incorrectness testing bed for society. What would never fly in the real world is forced on the Armed Forces. This is from the same people that sat soldiers down in the Nevada desert as they exploded a atomic bomb. just to see what the effects would be. Now they are repealing the gay ban in the military, just to see what the effects will be.

And can we call them something else and get the gay word back? That used to mean carefree and happy. No they can't have it! I think most of us already have a term. And probably have been using it for a while.

jez said...

OD357: why don't you just take those words back. I bet you had a whole bunch of them, not just one, and now they can be restored to their former meanings. Meanwhile, you've only lost one. Surely this exchange is a win for you?

Silver: I'm glad it's a red herring (I was going by the article from Gazette.com which you quoted in your piece). Now I don't know which if any of the remaining grievances are also red herrings.

Ducky's here said...

There is some accuracy to what Rob is saying but as long as there is the need to deal with the likes of Hack, OD357 and other haters you are going to see a militant gay front.

They've faced too much and achieved too much to drop it now.

All of the anti-ANTI movements began with anti-Semitism.

The reaction to anti-Semitism, which was once as much a part of European, British and American life as sunrise, sunset and changes in the weather, was the Mother of all Protest Movements and strident cries for reform.

Jews
Workers
Negroes
Non-Caucasians
Women
Cripples
Mental defectives
Homosexuals

Each of these despised or oppressed groups started making a lot of noise once the intellectual aggression of the mid-to-late nineteenth century started to question openly, the doctrines, mores, philosophical perspectives and blind assumptions by which Anglo-European societies had lived for centuries.

The advent of Darwin acted as an unintended spur to the drive for "liberation" from what-came-to-be-regarded-as "outmoded traditions."

The very real ugliness and obnoxious qualities we see in all of the groups listed above -- when they act as a political bloc -- is in truth only a REFLECTION of the Arrogance, excessive Pride, lack of Charity, lack of Humility, lack of Thoughtful Consideration, lack of Empathy, lack of Compassion, lack of Decency and profound lack of Imagination the Anglo-European Christian majorities have expressed toward those who do not fit their traditional models of what is right, proper, and desirable.

Women are the exception in the groups listed above. Women have never qualified as "anomalous," but they have come to identify with these other anomalous groups because traditional Male Domination has, indeed, deprived women of fulfilling their intellectual, creative and artistic potential for countless centuries, because of the blind-but-self-serving assumption that women were fit only to bear and raise children while cooking and cleaning. Women's traditional purpose was to make life a pleasanter, more comfortable experience for men.

So, Marxism -- the Bowel Movement produced by the Body made up of daring, intoxicating philosophical theses, scientific discoveries, technological advances, and the new forms of oppression and exploitation brought by the Industrial Revolution -- laid claim to all the muck stirred up during the nineteenth-century, and has USED every bit of it as a wedge to gain ever-increasing political power.

SIN -- however much we don't want to believe in it -- casts a long, long shadow, and has tremendous power, UNTIL we recognize and acknowledge it for what it is and REPENT, which means to act contritely and constructively to undo the great harm we have done.

The saddest part of the pattern is the way an honest desire for REFORM too soon mutates and becomes a bloodthirsty quest for REVENGE.

>You want it to be available uniquely (ie only, exclusively, solely) to heterosexual couples.

Only in the same way that designation as a lemur is available uniquely (ie., only, exclusively, solely) to any of various small, arboreal, chiefly nocturnal mammals of the family Lemuridae, of Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, especially of the genus Lemur, usually having large eyes, a foxlike face, and woolly fur. If it doesn't fit the definition of a lemur, it's not a lemur.

By definition, "marriage" is a type of formalized relationship between a man and a woman, thus, the very definition of the word makes "gay marriage" a logical impossibility. Yes there have been and are variations on the elements of marriage, but the one element that has always been the same is that it is between a man and a woman. (The second is that it is chiefly for the purpose of bearing children in a family environment, another core element that excludes homosexual relationships by definition. And, yes, I understand that there are heterosexual couples that cannot have children, but those are anomalies.)

It is true that there have been formalized relationships between individuals in various societies at various times in history, but aside from statistically meaningless aberrations, they were not considered to be marriages, they were not accorded the same social status, and they were not (and are not now) for the same purpose as marriage.

Go ahead and have civil unions if you'd like. Just don't usurp words (or concepts that have been established for thousands of years) for social engineering propaganda.

Speedy G said...

Oh, it's me, alright, FT. Sorry if that disappoints.

But the Cincinnatus model for military service is NOT a piece of "petty Homosexual gossip." Homosexuality HAD a place in the military ranks, for both Spartans and Thebans. And it's a rather ugly history of exploiting young boys for sex. For allowing women to serve in the ranks has NEVER been a very good idea. And it NEVER will be.

Speedy G said...

War has its seasons. Homosexuality merely enables war to become a "year-round" occupation. The "men" have no "reasons" to return home. They can stay in the field, "indefinitely" and sate all their preternatural "needs" to their hearts content.

Speedy G said...

Homosexuality is a reason for "young lions" to temporarily band together, enabling them to conquer a "pride" by double teaming an already dominant male. It's a strategy born of "weakness", NOT strength.

What "social experiment?" Were you born yesterday? Have you never met a gay person? What? Are you guy Ahmadinejad? "No! No gays here, man!" Get real.

Over the years, I've known quite a few gay guys who are far better human beings than some Christian conservative folks I've known. Especially the "Christian" types who throw a lot of stones.

Bastiatarian: the definitive thing about marriage is the taking of another person to be your exclusive romantic partner, your next of kin and your primary relationship, even usurping your family; all these things are more important than the genders of the participants. There are plenty of man/woman relationships that are not marriage.

If childless heterosexual couples are acceptable as aberations, why aren't homosexuals? Is there any principles involved, aside from your irrelevant opinion that "it's nasty!"

Anonymous said...

In truth homosexuals have been serving honorably and valiantly in the military since time immemorial. The issue today isn't about that. Every sensible person realizes that and accepts it. Instead, a bunch of Marxian activists have targeted the military -- as they've targeted just about every other sector of society -- in their eternal and infernal quest to DOMINATE, TRANSFORM and eventually to OBLITERATE every trace of elements that made Western Christian Civilization the great thing it has been.

Their method is to attack (study "Critical Theory) all established things by portraying them as "evil" and "unjust" -- simply because they have failed to reach perfection.

By constantly redefining everything they touch -- and making their twisted new interpretations stick, because of their success in infiltrating the legal profession -- they have succeeded in warping our vision of ourselves sufficiently to cause SUICIDAL impulses to grow in the minds of whole generations of supposedly intelligent young people.

There's nothing inherently wrong with homosexuality -- despite the vicious, self-serving claptrap written by bellicose, pathologically authoritarian Jewish tribal leaders that appears in The Pentateuch, much of which is an imposture of "Holy Wrist. "

HOWEVER, there is everything wrong with the brand of social activism that continually pokes sticks into hornets' nests of this kind in the guise of "enhancing humanitarian interests," while its true motive is to disrupt and eventually destroy our basically Christian Civilization.

Don't inform people -- CONFUSE 'em.

Don't educate people -- INDOCTRINATE 'em with SOPHISTRY and GUILE.

Don't HELP people -- EXPLOIT their grievances real and imagined.

Do these things long enough, and you will ROT a society from within and then like any other predator EAT IT ALIVE till it turns into EXCREMENT of your own making.

And some say the Devil is only a figment of vain, superstitious imaginings!

>the definitive thing about marriage is the taking of another person to be your exclusive romantic partner

Nope. There have been millions of people throughout history--and especially today--that maintain such relationships without the formality of marriage. In addition, the "romantic" aspect of deciding on marriage is essentially a modern development.

>your next of kin and your primary relationship, even usurping your family

Again, you neglect to look at the historical record of cultures around the world.

>all these things are more important than the genders of the participants.

Nope. The only element of marriage that has been consistent throughout recorded history and societies around the world is that it has always been a formalized relationship between a man and a woman. That's the only part of the definition that has never changed.

>There are plenty of man/woman relationships that are not marriage.

Non sequitur.

I agree. Homosexuals are, indeed, aberrations.

Again, I think your filter is taking your mind into gay sex when it isn't really there.

Sure, but there are many small arboreal Madagascan mammals with large eyes but which aren't Lemurs. Similarly, every marriage (should be) romantically exlusive and permanent, but not every romantically exclusive and permanent relationship is a marriage.
Anyway, are you saying that the definition of marriage that the military uses must embrace all forms that marriage has taken across the world and throughout history? The child marriages, the arranged marriaged, the polygamy etc.? I rather hoped my non-sloth readers would cotton on that I was talking about marriage as it is in our local, modern culture.

>>There are plenty of man/woman relationships that are not marriage.

>Non sequitur.

No, because we're looking for the defining qualities of marriage. Your choice, the genders of the participants, is weak because there are so many relationships which satisfy your criterion but to not qualify as marriage.

>>If childless heterosexual couples are acceptable as aberations, why aren't homosexuals?

>I agree. Homosexuals are, indeed, aberrations.

You said that infertile heterosexual married couples are aberrations. If you will extend the same privileges to homosexual couples as you do to them, then my next question does not apply.

>>Is there any principles involved, aside from your irrelevant opinion that "it's nasty!"

>Non sequitur, again. (Also, you're mixing singular and plural.)

I'm asking what principle, if any, drives you to accept infertile heterosexual couples as worthy of marriage but reject gay couples?

>>Lot's of comments are obsessed with the mechanics of gay sex.

>Lot's? I only see one that could possibly be interpreted that way. Maybe that's the filter you are reading through.

It's a small point, but you could try looking at some of eg. Titan's and FT's remarks, or even the magazine mock-up in the article.

>>It wouldn't bother me, but i don't talk about it as much.

>What does that even mean?

It means: those who claim to be bothered by it, but talk about it at length and in detail, are the architects of their own discomfort. To them, I suggest that they'd be happier if they talked about it less than I do.

>>Are you folks masochists?

>Probably, since we keep engaging irrational intellectual sloths who are unlikely ever to take the giant leap to reason, instead of just laughing you off.

That really would be an act of intellectual sloth. It is brave and instructive to examine our beliefs and discover what assumptions they are based on. This is an issue where so many assumptions lie just below the surface, which people are terribly unwilling to own up to. I don't know why. They're pretty obvious, why not admit they're there?

Interesting strategy using the DoD as a carrier for the gay marriage virus. I wonder if the Ford Foundation was involved somehow - I suspect they were behind the original gay rights business back in the '70s after they finished with the women's lib business?

If the government hadn't become involved in marriage back during the eugenics age of the 1910s, we might not be fretting over this now.

The short explanation for all this: it's just Satan's perversion.
