Secretary of Defense Gates and Admiral Mullen Willing to Sacrifice Military Effectiveness to Fulfill Obama Campaign Promise
Updated: Friday, December 3, 2010, 1630 hours
One message was loud and clear from the Senate Armed Services Committee’s two-day hearing on the repeal of the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ (DADT) law: Secretary of Defense Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mullen care very little about what our combat troops think about the repeal of the law or its immediate harm to our national defense.
The actual survey numbers of the Pentagon study show that allowing gays to openly serve in the military would be a national security disaster. According to the survey and study, titled ‘Report of the Comprehensive Review of the Issues Associated with a Repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’’ (Report) [Reminder: “Don‘t Ask, Don‘t Tell” was actually an executive order from Bill Clinton. The Congressional law bans homosexual behavior and bans homosexuals from serving in the military. To change that provision of the law, Congress must LEGALLY remove the ban from the law. Of course, who knows if the Obama Administration will actually follow the law if the ban is not removed?—my addition]:
1) Nearly 60% of those in the Marine and Army combat units thought repealing the DADT law would harm their unit’s ability to fight on the battlefield.
2) Up to a half-million service members may not reenlist should the ban be repealed (A disaster for our all–volunteer army that would require re-institution of the Draft). [Also, you can be certain that some men and women, who would have joined the military, will now look elsewhere for employment because they do NOT want to service in a military that has allowed homosexual behavior throughout the services—my addition.]
3) 91% would reject homosexual leaders.
4) 71% would not share showers with homosexuals.
(Again, as said in my December 2nd post dealing with this same issue, “a huge component of military unity is TRUST! Can soldiers trust another soldier knowing he may be lusting over him. TRUST and LUST do NOT go together in the military!”—my addition)
Senator John McCain spoke out on behalf of our combat service members. He continued his strong opposition to repeal of the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law, and questioned Gates and Mullen on why they were not paying more attention to the negative impact a repeal of DADT would have on our combat troops.
Three Reasons Not to Repeal DADT
Senior Military Leaders are Opposed to Repeal
1) During today’s hearing, three of the four major service chiefs—Marine Corps Commandant General James Amos, Army Chief General George W. Casey, and Air Force Chief Norton Schwartz—informed the Senate Armed Services Committee that their best military advice was to keep the ban in place. Earlier in the year, General Casey told the Senate Committee that he had serious concerns about the impact of the repeal on a force engaged in two wars.
2) It is important to note that Gates and Mullen have muzzled other combat commanders from publicly expressing their opinion opposing repeal of the ban. Both Gates and Mullen publicly reprimanded three-star General Benjamin Mixon, Commander of the U.S. Army Pacific, for publicly expressing his objection to repeal.
To overcome these constraints on active duty senior officers to honestly express their opinion, 1,167 retired flag and general officers, 51 of them former four stars, signed an open letter to President Obama and Congress expressing great concern about the impact that a repeal would have on morale, discipline, unit cohesion and overall military readiness.
Health Risks are Perilous
3) AIDS would increase in the military once homosexuals were openly admitted into the military and restraints on their sexual behavior are removed. Heterosexual service members would be more likely to contract AIDS through injuries and battlefield transfusions. Drug abuse and suicides would increase as well, resulting in a dramatic increase in medical care costs. Ironically, the repeal would come at a time when Secretary Gates is seeking to cut and contain health costs in military.”
As I concluded on my December 2nd post, “there are NO militarily assessed benefits to this insane policy which flies in the face of GOD’S proclamation that homosexual behavior is detestable, indecent, a perversion, and sin that will keep the practitioner from the kingdom of God . ‘‘Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman that is detestable.’’ Leviticus 18: 22 [NIV] ‘Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.’ Romans 1: 26-27 [NIV] ‘Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.’ I Corinthians 6: 9-11 [NIV] In both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, there is NOT one instance where the Bible is either neutral or positive toward homosexual behavior. Homosexual behavior is universally condemned in the Bible. Congressmen be warned and beware! Changing this policy will ONLY result in HARM to the nation. This is NOT about equality. That’s a lie of Satan! This is about SIN. God is in control NOT you! There will be a COST to you and to the nation. You are NOT above GOD!
Homosexual behavior is SIN. Any law that gives support to homosexual behavior is SIN. SIN has consequences for the individuals involved and for the government that permits and encourages that SIN to occur.
GOD intended sexual relations for one man and one woman—period!!! GOD created sexual relations for the benefit of one man and one woman—only!!! GOD does NOT need man’s assistance to improve upon HIS CREATIONS!!! GOD created man and woman. HE did NOT create man and man and/or woman and woman.
HE did that for a reason. ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.’ Genesis 2: 24 [NIV] ‘‘Haven’t you read,’ he [JESUS, the SON of GOD—my addition] replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.’’ Matthew 19: 4-6 [NIV] Congress be warned and beware: Your pay grade is well below what is necessary to change what GOD has ordained through HIS WORD! You don’t have the power, you don’t have the authority, you don’t have the intellect to change GOD’S design for man!!!
