Today President Obama signs the repeal of our 235 year old ban on open homosexuality in the military.  The repeal is made possible by the majority of our Congress, including many Republicans.   Homosexuals now enjoy the endorsement of the US Government – the wall is down, evil is flooding in.

It occurs to me that Congress and Obama are just like the officials at Sodom and Gomorrah who turned a deaf ear to Lot and his visiting angels.  Are we now expected to trust our children to a military which is forced to blindly accept sodomites?   I suspect many God-fearing Americans will discourage their children from joining the military and our country will be less safe as a result.   Worse, our enlistment margins are so thin now that in time conscription becomes inevitable and then the government will force our children into service with those God condemns.

It is clear most Americans are blind to this evil vis-a-vis national polls and those who see the evil either failed to speak loud enough or were too afraid to go against the corrupt culture.   This action by Obama and our Congress is evidence of our moral decline much as Rome, which became caught up in homosexuality, imploded. 

Once Obama signs the “Don’t Ask” repeal the Pentagon will establish a committee to begin the implementation process.  That process will last many months to legitimize homosexuality – make it a protected class.  The military will not complain and those who won’t tolerate this change will drift away or be forced out.   Our country, military will be weaker as a result and our enemies – especially Islamists who put homosexuals to death – will celebrate.

This radical change will adversely impact the military’s culture and serious incidents will be swept under the rug.  We have a precursor to this change that suggests how bad things could become.  The integration of women illustrates my point.  Yes, women serve our country well in the military but mixing young people in military settings especially far from home and in forced intimate situations hurts them and our military effectiveness and readiness.   Consider the following 34 years after the Congress promised the integration of women would be a non-event.

For many years the military pretended the issue of women in the ranks has been a great success but seldom does the military admit to the serious problems.  Just look at our very high sexual assault rates – 2009 the highest ever and 7% were homosexual assaults.  Young female service members have a suicide rate that is three times their civilian counterparts.  Their enlistment and retention rates are down, especially since 2001.  Why?  Plane loads of young service women become pregnant to win early departures from the war zones.  Many seek abortions and others use the Pentagon-provided “morning after pill” to kill their babies.   Sex, morality are tough issues for a military.  Does anyone believe repealing the ban on open homosexuality is going to be easier than our efforts to fully integrate women?

Will chaplains be silienced about their opposition to homosexuality?  The Pentagon promises no suppression of speech for chaplains who rightly believe homosexuality is a sin.  I’ve been speaking with chaplains.  They doubt the Pentagon’s promises.   Is this the end of the military chaplaincy?

The Pentagon’s report says there will be no medical impact but in the same breath it acknowledges homosexuals engage in behavior known to be associated with a high incidence of HIV/AIDS.  They know because I told the Pentagon working group that we have thousands of service members on active duty living with HIV/AIDS which they contracted primarily through sex, many homosexual sex.  These people are non-deployable which means other healthy service members must deploy in their place. 

The Pentagon says it’s too hard and expensive to separate open homosexuals from heterosexuals.   That’s a good reason for American moms and dads to think twice about entrusting their teenage children to a bankrupt government.

And this repeal decision comes during war and in spite of discouraging voices from our combatants.  This is absolutely irresponsible to ignore those who are at the tip of the spear.  Marine Commandant Gen Amos warned of violence.

Obama and the majority of our Congress called evil good.   A nation that follows evil leaders will be judged.  I fear for our country.

Conclusion:

• It is past time we get on our knees and humble ourselves before our God. 
• It is past time we speak boldly the truth to a culture blind to the pervasive evil. 
• It is past time we hold our elected officials accountable for their immoral votes. 
• It is time the Christian remnant be heard or else like Rome and Israel of old our nation will become little more than refuse for the trash heap of history.
