It takes major, giant sized, integrity to stand and speak so plainly!

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.

"I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way," Pace told the newspaper.

As expected the thin skinned girly-men and manly-women advocacy groups teed off immediately:

"General Pace's comments are outrageous, insensitive and disrespectful to the 65,000 lesbian and gay troops now serving in our armed forces," the advocacy group Servicemembers Legal Defense Network said in a statement on its Web site.

The group has represented some service members dismissed from the military for their sexual orientation.

By the way, the Associated (with homoerotic behavior) Press is playing its hand a bit strongly on these two stories.

Notice the top line of the quote above "by allowing gay personnel to serve openly." That makes it sound like they were just serving their country one day and Ann Coulter jumped out from behind some bush and said, "Ha faggot - we got you!"

But here in the MuscleHead Revolution one of our major points is that words mean things. And that's where the word "openly" presents the problem. If a homosexual truly identifies himself that way because of a condition that he was born under - but did not act out upon those compulsory desires then General Pace would have no issue with that person.

Just as in the second quote above the AP refers to service members being "dismmissed for orientation." WRONG! Every single one of the service members who have been asked to leave - got there - because they did not control their behavior. General Pace was not outrageous but rather very measured in his exact comments as quoted by the AP. Too bad their reporting is of such a poor quality that they were unable/unwilling to report the facts and leave the interpretation to the reader.
