Military being indoctrinated on gays kissing and gay behavior
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Not wanting to come across as politically incorrect, I hesitate to say this ... but truth be known, this is just about the most disgustingly repulsive story I've read in quite some time. Simply put ... it's down right yucky!
The Washington Times reports (emphasis mine):
Four branches of the military have begun sending training material to 2.2 million active and reserve troops as a prelude to opening the ranks to gays, with instructions on, for example, what to do if an officer sees two male Marines kissing in a shopping mall.There's much more if you have the stomach for it.Key themes are that sexual orientation will no longer be a bar to service, that all service members must respect each other, and that the partners of gay troops will not receive the benefits of heterosexual spouses.
"We are going to make [gay ban] repeal training expeditiously," said Maj. Joel Harper, an Air Force spokesman at the Pentagon. "It's great training."
(Yuck)The briefings first target commanders, who will have to enforce the new law and deal with disputes, and then the entire force. The slides, vignettes and talking points by the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps are similar.
The Marine Corps, which a Pentagon survey found holds deep opposition to lifting the ban, plans to publicly release its training material April 1. A Marine source provided copies to The Washington Times.
The vignette about seeing two male Marines kissing is part of a list of scenarios to help instructors prepare commanders for incidents likely to arise.
"Situation," it begins. "You are the Executive Officer of your unit. While shopping at the local mall over the weekend, you observe two junior male Marines in appropriate civilian attire assigned to your unit kissing and hugging in the food court."
"Issue: Standards of Conduct. Is this within standards of personal and professional conduct?"
The answer to Marines: "If the observed behavior crosses acceptable boundaries as defined in the standards of conduct for your unit and the Marine Corps, then an appropriate correction should be made. Your assessment should be made without regard to sexual orientation."
The vignettes' talking point states that commanders cannot rule a bar off limits simply because it caters to gays. Nor can commanders bar an off-duty homosexual from marching in civilian clothes in a gay-pride parade.
My time in the Corps has long passed, but if I still wore the globe and anchor ... the first time I saw two male Marines kissing, anywhere, and the disgusting behavior was condoned by the Corps ... that would be the very day that I kissed the globe and anchor good bye.
