Don't Ask, Don't Think, Don't Joke, Etc.

There are some amazing gay men and women serving the United States in our military.

I’ve seen a few of them interviewed, read their comments, heard of the comments made by those who have served with and for them.

I do not think they are what the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is all about.

Over this past weekend we’ve seen rise of a story about videos produced by the enlisted on the U.S.S. Enterprise. The videos are said to include scenes with jokes about gays, and dealt with sex (with women). The ship’s Captain, who participated in making the videos in 2006 and 2007, has now been relieved of his command.

War is not politically correct, but now our military IS.



Gone are the days when safety and security of our borders and citizens was paramount. We’re now consumed with feelings and emotions, we practice being offended, even if no one else is.

No, as I said, I do not believe this is all about the brave gay men and women serve in our armed forces. Instead, I believe it is for the same groups, in San Francisco, in New York, in the typical centers of Liberalism which are perpetually offended, which seem to believe the primary role of our military is to be a backdrop for gay pornography. They know nothing of patriotism, of the sacrifices made for them by those who serve now and have served in the past. Their idea of freedom is the ability to wear backless leather chaps and nothing else in public. They – as N.O.W. for women and the NAACP for blacks – are professional victims and are prepared to always be that, no matter how great the cost.

When such people and their ideals, their personal standards and expectations, are determining the behavior and daily activities of our fighting forces while even isolated at sea, you know our nation is in serious trouble.

This gay man respects and appreciates each man and woman who has volunteered to serve in our nation’s military, who seek to ensure our nation and her citizens remain safe and secure. I would question the motives of anyone who is not, for they are serving to secure YOUR safety and security, your freedom as well.

I do not respect the perpetual victims and their cheerleaders. They endanger all the others seek to preserve and defend.
