General says military shouldn't accept gay behavior, likens it to adultery
Dear General Pace,
Please accept my Honerable Discharge. You'll notice I have written the words "void" on it. I'm not sure you'll get all the gay combat vets who served in Vietnam and the Gulf War(s) and Afghanistan to turn theirs in, but you can try.
I'm sorry you find me offensive - however, I will continue to support those serving in our Armed Forces. Whether or not there is "don't ask, don't tell", there will still be gay or bisexuals serving in the military. Even before all that, I encountered a significant number of them during my stint.
Sorry to bust your illusions, but to the best of my knowledge the military has the same proportion of homosexual and bisexual persons serving as there are in the civillian population.
You can refute that last statement, if you wish, but the evidence lies with those who have left the service and are free to be open... There's plenty of "them" around if you wish to discuss this.

I applaud General Peter Pace for taking the correct stand on this matter. His comments are right on target. There is NO REASON for him to apologize to anyone. His personal beliefs are his own and NO ONE need apologize for their personal beliefs. While I agree that he should be loving and respectful in his statements and (more importantly) actions, being forced to accept and celebrate the choice of homosexual behavior is NOT something anyone should be confronted with -- military or civilian.
These gay advocacy groups need to sit down and shut up! There is NOTHING "outrageous" or "insensitive" in what General Pace said in the interview. I listened to part of his comments. He was soft-spoken and respectful, but also firm in his resolve. Pace answered one question with a very straightforward and truthful answer, "The US Military’s mission fundamentally rests on the trust, confidence, cooperation amongst its members, and the homosexual lifestyle does not comport with that kind of trust and confidence and therefore is not supported within the US military. I’ll leave it at that."
Homosexuality *is* an immoral act. It is NOT natural, normal or moral. The lifestyle choice is rife with promiscuity, predatorship and infidelity -- all matters that point to trust, confidence and cooperation. General Pace should be applauded for standing his ground and speaking the truth.
I, personally, plan to be active in the fight against these homosexual advocacy groups as they seek to villainize General Pace. Here's hoping you will join the fight as well. It's high time conservatives (especially Christians) stand up for our beliefs and convictions.
You are most certainly entitled to your opinion.
As far as your comment "Here's hoping you will join the fight as well.", it does not sound like you read my post closely enough: A. I am a gay man. B. I served 7 years in the United States Army. C. I encountered plenty of gay and bisexual people in the military.
