Panetta has become nothing but an Obama shill, it will be good that he is also retired in November.
U. S News and Word Report
Less than a year after the Defense Department’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” (DADT) policy toward gay and lesbian service members was repealed, the Pentagon says it will hold its first-ever Gay Pride event Tuesday.
The event is likely to be a more toned-down version of the Gay Pride parades that take place every June in cities around the world—sans the flags, wigs, beads and boas.
Instead, the Pentagon has planned a somber-sounding panel discussion entitled “The Value of Open Service and Diversity,” according to a Defense Department press release. (More below)
The event will also have a keynote speaker: the Pentagon’s top lawyer Jeh Johnson, who co-chaired the 2010 study on how a DADT repeal might affect combat operations, housing and other issues, according to the Washington Post.
Johnson, along with co-chair U.S. Army Gen. Carter Ham, concluded in the study: “While a repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ will likely, in the short-term, bring about some limited and isolated disruption to unit cohesion and retention, we do not believe this disruption will be widespread or long-lasting.”
Several months after the report, in December 2010, DADT was repealed.
As Gay Pride events took place across the country this month, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta issued his own Pride Month message to gays and lesbians in the military, saying he was “very proud of how we implemented repeal” of DADT. “Diversity is one of our greatest strengths,” he said.
What you don’t know, won’t hurt you
Sick and tired of all this beening stuck in my face and forced down our throats. Keep your bedroom activities in your bedroom and out of my face. What you don’t know, won’t hurt you. Personally I would rather not know or make it any of my business.
The rainbow camouflage looks like the one Michelangelo designed for the Vatican’s Swiss Guards, but we all know about Michelangelo, don’t we?
On the serious side, Obama and his cabal have managed toi deliberately gut and emaciate the militray ethos which served our country so well for the past 237 years. He in his vile minions still live in fear of a military coup d’etat.
I am tired of the gay agenda, somewhat like the muslim agenda. Forcing their beleifs on the public. You are gay I don’t care – just be quiet and move on. I stopped watching any network TV because this was shoved in my face 24/7 and I don’t like it. Now it’s muslims everywhere I go to read or news, another group that won’t adapt to any kind of normal life. In the military I beleive don’t ask don’t tell was the way to go. It’s 4 years so leave it alone. It will bred hate and it won’t end well. Forcing military chaplains to go marriage ceremonies that they don’t agree with and if they won’t the military says then leave no exceptions. yes this is a forced agenda for sure.
HOW MUCH MORE WILL AMERICANS TOLERATE. FORCING THE GAY AGENDA OR EVEN THE MUSLIM AGENDA.THIS IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE AND TO VALIDATE SUCH DEFECTIVE THINKING, VIOLATES ALL THE RULES OF LOGIC, MORE SO IN A DEMOCRACY. MINORITY OPINIONS DO NOT FORM GENERAL CONCLUSIONS. THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS.
