In the months leading up to President Barack Obama signing the bill and fulfilling his campaign pledge to activist homosexual groups, many service members said they would not remain in uniform if that lifestyle was foisted upon the military. In fact, an Army National Guard lieutenant colonel recently told WorldNetDaily that he has already sent a letter asking to be relieved of his command so that he will not have to subject his troops to pro-homosexual indoctrination. He has also threatened to resign his commission, rather than undergo "behavior modification" training.
"The lesbian, gay, bisexual [and] transgender access to the armed forces with zero tolerance of dissent will be a major reason why some decisions will be made, especially in the mid-career ranks, by families and by individuals to just not re-enlist," warns Center for Military Readiness (CMR) president Elaine Donnelly.
She says a new type of "don't ask, don't tell" policy is now in effect, "because anyone who has a problem with what is portrayed to them and taught to them as a good thing -- homosexuality -- they will have to keep their views to themselves. And that principle may very well apply to chaplains and certainly people of faith in a way that's far beyond what anyone understands at this moment."
An advocate for America's fighting men and women says the repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving in the military will effectively create a new type of "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military.
