A Clash of Integrities: Moral and Religious Liberty in the Armed Forces

Heritage  "The repeal of the 1993 law prohibiting open homosexuality in the military poses significant risk for military service members and chaplains who, as matters of religious or moral conviction, hold to traditional values regarding marriage and sexual behavior. The report of the Pentagon’s Comprehensive Review Working Group and the steps taken to date to implement the repeal do not allay concerns that the religious liberty and free speech rights of these service members and chaplains will be compromised to the detriment of their military careers."
MSNBC  er, WAIT! What?














Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: Time for Cautious Judgment  "Current law is clear: Under the federal Defense of Marriage Act, marriage is solely the union of a man and a woman, and that applies fully to the armed forces. Certainly, the Obama Administration’s increasingly shameless attempts in federal court to undermine the Defense of Marriage Act and the current law on open service by homosexual persons inspires no confidence in the intentions of this report’s framers."

More here.  Many find it disgusting that a political party with a base that hates the military ("loathes", I believe, was the word Bill Clinton used.) would use it to show off before their antiwar supporters. The Democrat Party has many in it who would dismantle our military, yet they are the ones who now direct our military and set it's policies. Sickening.
