Why is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace (USMC) so worried about gays? Shouldn’t winning the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and beating al-Qaeda be just a little higher on his priority list? And could General Pace’s fear of gays possibly be related to his own fears about his sexual orientation?
Diversion and misdirection.
Ooh, look over here, spooky gays! No, don’t look over there, where hundreds of people are dying every day! No, not over there either, where the administration is being shown to be lying lawbreakers!
Look, here’s another gay! Eeeek!
With a Name like “Peter” he’s afraid there may be some confusion. What is a Peter Pace anyways but about 6″…One peter…two peter…three…
it’s the part of his life he has struggled with all his life.
Hmmmmmmmm…
I don’t even know why he’s so worried about hetero consensual adultery….he just has issues about sex…
Maybe he should next address the issues of adultery of military personnel and some of leading politicians.
he’s not. he knows that his job is national defense, not social engineering.
Gays are not the problem. Morals are the problem. In the same address he also remarked that adultery can not and should not be tolerated. If you read the words and think, then next time you won’t go blabbing on and looking stupid.
In the military, good discipline and morale requires high moral standards. Within society in general, good discipline and morale requires high moral standards. General Pace is concerned-and rightly so-that good discipline and morale is either being eroded or is on the verge of erosion; the man has a tremendous responsibility to insure the esprit de corps of the troops are not weakened by immoral conduct. General Pace has thus far shown a high degree of moral courage; the man’s in a total war scenario on this particular front. It’s my hope he’ll stand strong and fight this one out to the bitter end, no matter the vitriolic hatred spewing from the mouths of the talking/babbling heads.
Why is it a big deal that the military doesn’t want gays? I can’t see why people care so much.
