ATTENTION! Immoral people need not apply.

Just when we thought that the level of ineptitude, which has galloped boldly through this administration, had ebbed, along comes Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,General Peter Pace and his thoughts about homosexuality. In case you hadn't read these quotes here are some of them: “I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts,” Pace was quoted as saying in the newspaper interview. “I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way.” Holy Shit! Is Pace kidding here? Does he really believe what he is saying or was it his turn to deflect heat away from the administration's latest debacle at Walter Reed? There are so many ways one can respond to this incredibly outrageous and stupid statement that it actually freezes one's mind! Good battle field tactics, General Pace.
Only after calming my mind down and then jump starting it with coffee, was I able to respond. Here goes, General, when Hitler was running the table in Europe and the Japanese the same in Asia, did any of your distinguished predecessors worry if the young men they were sending off to fight and perhaps die held feeling they or anyone else,including you, would have considered immoral? I think not, or if they did they choose not to make it an issue. Did the draft board wonder or ask the 18 year olds they had just drafted to fight in Korea and Vietnam if they had any immoral tendencies? Ah, no.

I hadn't realized that one needed to be so "pure" in virtue in order to kill for his or her country. And why should gays not be given the opportunity to fight and defend this country in its war on terror, after all not all those who died on 9/11 were straight or moral.
General, may I remind you that one doesn't have to look far in Washington to see that in one way or another and in various degrees we are all sinners. Washington has always had enough immorality to choke a race horse. So, General, before you speak of things that you feel are "immoral" please, please first seek the advise of Dick Cheney or the right to lifers, after all homosexuals are people too, then remind yourself that,we are all Americans, straight or not, and that in our recent history too many young men and women have died for causes that held no reason or justification other then to protect the interests of the Halliburtons of the world,and in that, sir, lay the real immorality.


MAD, adj.
