Homosexuals to party over 'Don't Ask' repeal

Barack Obama

The new "San Francisco Military" created by Barack Obama with the repeal of the longstanding "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" procedures regarding homosexuality in the ranks soon will be partying.

The 60-day time frame between the signing of the law and its implementation ends on Sept. 20, and one pro-homosexual organization, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, already has announced plans to sponsor the festivities.

"SLDN and others will be sponsoring celebrations to mark this important date, and we expect that service members will attend many of the celebrations,"
the organization has announced.

"Many service members want to attend these celebrations, and some might want to speak at them," the group advised. "The extent and type of participation will depend on the nature of the event as defined under military rules."

"We expect that most of the DADT repeal celebrations will be just that – celebrations of the repeal of a bad law. No special rules apply to attendance at or participation in such events," the organization said.

The repeal has come about through Obama's signature on the law that followed the "certification" by military commanders that the new demand for open homosexuality will create no negative impacts on the nation and its military.

"On the day that President Obama sign[ed] a paper 'certifying' that no harm will come to the military when repeal is implemented, he will own the San Francisco Military that he has created," said Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness, as the signing date approached.

Obama's signature followed the endorsement of homosexuality by then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen.

In a statement from the White House, Obama said, "As commander in chief, I have always been confident that our dedicated men and women in uniform would transition to a new policy in an orderly manner that preserves unit cohesion, recruitment, retention and military effectiveness. Today's action follows extensive training of our military personnel and certification by Secretary Panetta and Adm. Mullen that our military is ready for repeal. As of Sept. 20th, service members will no longer be forced to hide who they are in order to serve our country."

Obama's letter to members of Congress said he considered the "recommendations contained in the report required by the memorandum of the Secretary of Defense…" and found "the implementation of the necessary policies and regulations pursuant to the discretion provided by the amendments made by section 2(f) of the Act is consistent with the standards of military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and recruiting and retention of the Armed Forces."

However, the White House promotion of the its action did not even mention a study by the government itself that concluded the "fix" was in for the promotion of homosexuality in the military whether it would create damage or not.

That 33-page report, uncovered by the Center for Military Readiness, is marked "For Official Use Only" and describes an "Investigation of improper disclosure of For Official Use Only information from the Comprehensive Review Working Group draft report."

It reveals that the inspector general of the Department of Defense concludes that the fix – maybe even handed down by the White House – was in before the military ever started asking soldiers and sailors about how opening the ranks to homosexuals would affect the nation's defense.

It was that report that famously was quoted as affirming "70 percent" of the nation's military members believe the repeal of the long-standing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" practice of allowing homosexuals to serve as long as they kept their sexual lifestyle choices to themselves would have either "a neutral or positive impact on unit cohesion, readiness, effectiveness and morale."

However, the inspector general documents how the co-chair of the commission working on the assessment, Jeh Johnson, "read portions of 'an early draft' of the executive summary … to a former news anchor, a close personal friend visiting Mr. Johnson's home" three days before service members even were given the survey.

A source provided the IG report, which aimed to determine who prematurely released information about the study, to Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness. Donnelly analyzed the documentation and warned that it suggests Congress was deceived, probably deliberately, by those with a pro-repeal agenda.

Congress then voted during its lame-duck session last winter for the repeal.

"Contrary to most news accounts, the 'Comprehensive Review Working Group' process was not a 'study,'" she told WND. "Its purpose was to circumvent and neutralize military opposition to repeal of the law."

She said, "The vaunted DoD 'Survey of the Troop's was pre-scripted even before the survey began.

"The DoD Inspector General report revealed that misleading survey results, which obscured the strong opposition of 60 percent of combat troops and 67 percent of Marines, were prematurely and improperly leaked to the Washington Post in order to promote the campaign to repeal the 1993 law."

"Panetta is beginning his term as Defense Secretary by letting down military men, women, and families who were led to believe that their views would be heard and respected. Instead, trusting personnel who participated in the 2010 surveys and focus groups in good faith were misused as props to create the impression that military people 'don't care' about this issue," she said.

"History will hold accountable President Obama, members of the previous lame-duck Congress, and gay activists who misused the federal courts in order to impose LGBT law and policies that will undermine morale and readiness in the all-volunteer force," she said.

Donnelly explained that days before the survey to military members – supposedly to determine whether having open homosexuality in the ranks would be a detriment – was distributed to members of the military, Johnson "was seeking advice from a 'former news anchor' on how to write the report's executive summary more 'persuasively.'"

Further, "The DoD IG report concluded that someone who 'had a strongly emotional attachment to the issue' and 'likely a pro-repeal agenda' violated security rules and leaked selected, half-true information to the Washington Post," she explained.

That was the "70 percent" figure that has been discussed as the percentage of active-duty and reserve troops "not concerned about repeal of the law."

"The DoD did not correct the unauthorized 'spin,' which was widely publicized and cited on the floor during Senate debate. The ultimate result of this travesty was a rushed vote to repeal the law regarding homosexuals in the military."

However, the actual responses were that military members who believe the change would impact units "very positively" totaled 6.6 percent, "positively" 11.8 percent, "mixed" 32.1 percent, "negatively" 18.7 percent, "very negatively" 10.9 percent and "no effect" 19.9 percent.

The only way the 70 percent figure can be reached is to combine "very positively," "positively," "mixed" and "no effect." But this combination counts people with "neutral positions" as favoring the change. Likewise, the results could be portrayed as 82 percent who believed it would have a negative or neutral impact.

The change is not coming without resistance. An organization called RepealResistNet said the "Slow Death of US Military Begins on One Week."

"One of the most wrenching events in U.S. military history is scheduled to occur on September 20," a newsletter from the group explained.

"Now, the tiny minority that defines itself by a compulsion to commit sodomy in specific violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice may have won a big battle. But they can't be allowed to win this war for the very survival of America as given to us by God and our Founding Fathers," the organization explained.

The organization stepped to the edge of the issue too, questioning whether "illegal/immoral" laws are to be obeyed.

"America's Founding Fathers, drawing heavily on the writings of Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero, brought forward his warnings against legislators who undertake to pass laws which violate what are so brilliantly recognized as the 'laws of Nature and of Nature's God,'" the organization said. "Cicero nails that lame-duck Congress, desperately rushing to enact and inflict a corrupt agenda before a duly-elected Republican majority House. of Representatives can be seated, along with Republican reinforcements in the Senate."

The commentary quote Cicero: "But the most foolish notion of all is the belief that everything is just which is found in the customs or laws of nations. ... What of the many deadly, the many pestilential statutes which nations put in force? These no more deserve to be called laws than the rules of a band of robbers might pass in their assembly."

The organization said, "We believe that lawful resistance to the immoral/illegal/unnatural/unGodly imposition of open homosexuality on the military is called for."

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was a policy ordered by former President Clinton after Congress passed a law banning homosexuality in the military. Under the Clinton policy, if homosexual soldiers didn't make a public issue of their sexual lifestyle, the military would not make inquiries about it, despite the ban.
