Gen. Pace: Homosexuality "Immoral"

WASHINGTON—The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday he considers homosexuality to be immoral and the military should not condone it by allowing gay personnel to serve openly, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Marine Gen. Peter Pace likened homosexuality to adultery, which he said was also immoral, the newspaper reported on its Web site.

<snip>

The newspaper said Pace did not address concerns raised by a 2005 government audit that showed some 10,000 troops, including more than 50 specialists in Arabic, have been discharged because of the policy. **outrageous!!

Gee, what a Christian you are General Pace, you killer.

Dropping a shock and awe number of bombs on a civilian population of 5,900,000 in Baghdad, splattering pieces of their bodies all over the place....perfectly fine apparently.


However, two people of the same gender loving each other..just wanting to live their lives in peace....lives which don't affect or hurt anyone...that'"immoral" and something he needs to address.

Now I've heard everything from this murderer at the Pentagon.


Take a look at all of the countries that allow gay people to openly serve in the military:

LOOK AT ALL OF THE NATO COUNTRIES!!!

What the hell is wrong with the United States? You would think we would be the example.


* Argentina<1>
* Australia
* Austria
* The Bahamas
* Belgium
* Bulgaria<2>
* Canada
* Colombia
* Croatia<2>
* Czech Republic
* Denmark
* Estonia <3>
* Finland
* France
* Germany
* Hungary
* Ireland
* Israel
* Italy<2>
* Lithuania
* Luxembourg
* The Netherlands
* New Zealand
* Norway
* Peru
* Poland
* Portugal<2>
* Romania<4>
* Slovenia
* South Africa
* Spain
* Sweden
* Switzerland
* Taiwan
* Thailand
* United Kingdom

Why do people like Peter Pace feel they have the right to speak this way about other human beings?

What a horrible person.

'Cuz they're only killing "the enemy", and the enemy is "not us", which makes it OK. :eyes:


And it's effing scary how easily they turn people into "not us" to suit their needs. :hide:

7. Hum, an army by its mere function is inmoral
I guess this general did not stop to think how his job title sort of goes against everything the founder of his beloved religion stood for. There are a couple of passages in the bible that mention homosexuality, there are entire chapters, however, devoted to the whole "thou shalt not kill" meme... I consider any armed force to be far more immoral than whatever consenting adults decide to do behind closed doors.

9. An even more compelling list, is the list of countries
who BAN gays from serving in the military:

*Belarus
*Brazil
*Cuba
*Egypt
*Greece
*Iran
*Latvia
*North Korea
*Philippines
*Saudi Arabia
*Serbia
*Syria
*Venezuela
*Yeman

Seems we have a lot in common with the "Axis of Evil", not to mention most Middle Eastern countries ("friend" or "foe"),with Cuba and Venezuela (boo!) thrown in for good measure. Makes you feel proud to be an American, doesn't it?

10. Interesting how the most powerful Middle Eastern
country (arguably) does allow gay people to serve.

Yup, those gay people are sure weakening the IDF! :sarcasm:

14. Is this post anti-Pace or pro-Israel? Both?
You are aware, of course, that Pace has been the spokesman for the Generals and staff at the Joint Chiefs who have opposed BushCo and AIPAC pressure to attack Iran.

Not surprising at this point to see an effort to isolate Pace from his potential base of support among progressive Democrats.

Nice try, guys. Hope you enjoy the conference this week.

15. What are you talking about? In terms of allowing gay people to
openly serve in the military, it is both "anti-Pace" and "pro-Israel."

Anti-Pace in the sense he is a homophobe.

Pro-Israel in the sense gay people are allowed to serve in the military.

If you would, please try not to mix issues in my thread.

18. "try not to mix issues in my thread" That's rich.
You're the one who knocked Pace for his "immoral" statement -- you are entitled -- but, then you raised up Israel as a paragon. It wasn't I who mixed those issues.

By the way, if you can't see that this attack on Pace is timed to a larger agenda, then I would suggest you pay closer attention.

By the way, as OP, it is not "your" thread. My comment is far from OT, and I have every right to make it here. You are, knowingly or not, repeating a propaganda meme. Not a new one.

19. I was pointing out that despite allowing gay people to openly
serve, Israel has a very strong military.

Therefore, there's a vivid example of how allowing gay people to openly serve is not as detrimental as your hero General Pace would like United States citizens to believe.

I'm not sure why your brain wasn't able to compute the very basic facts of my OP.

And stop defending this disgusting man. He is scum.

11. So since sex outside of marriage is adultery and adultery is immoral...
if we allowed gay marriage, homosexual sex would cease to be immoral. Right?

12. Of course you realize Republics, uh, I mean Republicans don't
understand logic, right?

Their specialty is name-calling and hate speak.

It's always nice to see who the United States shares anti-gay military policies with. Saudi Arabia, anyone?
