JNT@terrific-tabs.com I am writing this essay in order to express my strong opposition to any change in the existing laws that ban homosexuals from service in the United States Armed Forces. I feel qualified to discuss matters concerning the military, for I served on active duty, both overseas and in the continental U.S., for seven years, as a medical officer in the U.S. Air Force -- at two different Strategic Air Command bases. I am fully familiar with military esprit-de-corps; and I remember well the manly pride of those serving in our United States Military -- those who represent our Nation, and who fight to protect the wholesome and honorable values that the United States represents -- throughout the world. It grieves me to think that our military service may soon become a haven (the "gays" may be inclined to call it a "heaven") for homosexuals, who will hungrily rush to enlist -- so that they can aggregate closely together with others of their same deviant ilk.... while being fully "subsidized" and "sponsored" and protected, by our own government. If the ban on homosexuals in the military is lifted, no one should worry that there will suddenly be a decline in military enlistments. Quite the contrary -- for there will almost certainly be a stampede of male and female homosexuals, who will suddenly and avidly choose the military "life-style" -- and enlist, so that they can openly flaunt their "sexual preferences", among each other -- without shame or reprobation. Of course, those of the normal or "straight persuasion", who cannot bear even the thought of "co-existing" in the presence of homosexual activities, will quickly exit the military; and leave the protection of our country under the limp-wristed leadership of an ever-enlarging homosexual military population. I feel a deep sense of frank abandonment because of all the recent sermonizing, by President Clinton -- concerning his openly advocating that flagrant homosexuals be allowed to enlist, unashamedly, in the military service of our proud nation. I just cannot believe it! The "gay life-style" is an absolute abomination to the vast majority of thinking citizens of our nation. Even the name "gay", or "queer", or "homosexual" evokes feelings of disgust, and shame, and revulsion in the thoughts of most normal humans. The very idea that "fallatio" (oral sex), and sodomy (anal intercourse) between male human-beings, should be "accepted" as a variety of normalcy, makes most of us cringe in misery. We now openly read, even in our daily newspapers, such nauseating terms as "fecal-oral contamination", resulting from various homosexual acts.... as if that type of "contamination" were a simple "common-cold". We are instructed, almost daily, by the various media, in a homosexual lingo of terms and "acts" -- the thought of which makes almost all normal people retch -- and gag. I hope that the President and our congress will remember that the current United States "plague" -- "AIDS" -- originated in the bath-houses and public toilets of our own California, thanks to the reckless "life-style" of California's "gay" population. Our country does not need any new circumstance that will further encourage "gay" misbehavior, realizing that the average homosexual male already "accepts" as many as 300 to 500 "partners" during his active deviant sex-life. Try to imagine how many more sexual "encounters" there will be if homosexual soldiers and sailors are granted, by presidential edict, the umbrella of approval and protection by the United States military "code" -- at all U. S. military bases, and on all ships-at-sea.... and on the battlefield. Can't you just picture the frequent amorous interludes of anal intercourse, between "male" soldiers.... in a foxhole? Can we now assume that, before long, the "gays" and other liberals will demand that "same-sex-gay-marriages" be approved for members of the once-mighty Military Service of the United States of America? To most human-beings, the widely-heralded current concept of "tolerance".... or not "discriminating" against anything -- regardless of how weird and vulgar and filthy it may be -- has finally arrived-at a disgustingly unacceptable extreme. The theory of "live and let live" has now advanced to a sad phase of repugnancy that must, hopefully, at last, force the "pendulum" to swing toward the direction of wholesomeness, and cleanliness, and decency, and propriety. The unacceptability of "queers" in the Armed Forces of the United States of America, may finally be a rallying-point around which the "straight" and normal citizens of our nation will rally. In that regard, the formerly powerful national "moral majority" -- currently being low-rated by liberal politicians, and by "the media" -- has been swept aside, under the "rug"; and is now widely denigrated as a useless and defunct and impotent group known disparagingly as "the religious right". Nevertheless, maybe now -- under the stimulus of the current homosexual assault upon the minds and consciences and beliefs of cognizant citizens -- the "conservatively-correct" thinkers of America will coalesce once again into a "moral majority" -- and awaken, and be seen, and heard, and counted -- and become effective again. Most of us "normal" Americans devoutly hope so ! I am sending a copy of this essay to my congressional representatives, hoping that they will grasp and understand how the great majority of us United States citizens feel. As for me, personally, I intend to observe closely how the congressmen who represent me, vote on this critical issue. |
