More veteran chaplains express grave religious liberty concerns over homosexual agenda in military
Concerns rise with pending Senate vote, disparaging comment by top Army personnel official
WASHINGTON — The number of highly distinguished veteran chaplains expressing religious liberty concerns over any dismantling of the military’s policy against openly practiced homosexual behavior has increased with the addition of numerous signatures to a letter to President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates. The 66 signers, up from 41 in April, have given a combined total of nearly 1,700 years of U.S. military service. The updated letter comes in the wake of a startling statement reportedly made by a top Army official calling service members who oppose the normalization of homosexual conduct “racists and bigoted.” The comment came to public notice just as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scheduled the National Defense Authorization Bill for a critical Tuesday vote. Tacked on to the military spending bill are politically motivated provisions to tear down the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, authorize amnesty for some illegal immigrants, and allow military facilities to provide abortions.
