From Pam Spaulding:
In a newsletter article reprinted at Free Republic, San Diego exgay activist James Hartline describes gay former U.S. members of the armed forces as a “radical homosexual group,” calls bisexuals “perverted,” and labels the presence of same-sex-attracted persons in the armed forces “a grave threat to national security.” Harline claims that “sexual promiscuity” and AIDS are rising among same-sex-attracted persons, but offers no documentation.
Spaulding hosts a lengthy excerpt from Hartline’s newsletter and from Free Republic’s commenters.
A friend of mine who served with me during the Vietnam era is gay. Gays served admirably in the military during WWII, Korea and Vietnam as I discussed here.
Only in the rabidly anti-gay Bush administration would gays be expelled from the military during wartime.
Frankly, I think we should force evangelical lunatics and Republican neo-cons into the battlefield first anyway. It’s technically an act of kindness, since they spend so much of their fantasy time talking about battle, war, being a warrior for christ, assault, attack. . .let them put their own yellow souls on the line.
The NY Times or LATimes recently reported that the armed services was lowering their standards to recruit those even with criminal records.
There is a gang detail officer similar to those who investigate within the peace officers of LAPD and LA County Sheriff’s Dept
There are active members of well known gangs in the army and Marines to train so their skills for attack can be used against rival gangs or law enforcement officers.
But we know that gang warfare is real and present in thousands of communities across the country, and no one is safe.
For our President and other leaders to ignore this and also ignore the chain illegal immigrant issue as feeding the gang wars is sickening and the real threat to national security, NOT gay people, nor their presence in the armes services.
I told you that they make gay people out to be worse than terrorists or gangs in America, and Hartline is just one who is doing it.
