The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Clinton says the nation has "evolved" enough so that openly homosexual men and women should be allowed to serve in the U.S. military now.
"The question before us now is whether enough time has gone by to give this policy serious reconsideration. Much evidence suggests that it has," he said, noting 24 other nations including allies in the fight against terrorism let homosexuals serve openly.
What a great idea. Destroying morale by sacrificing our soldiers for Iraqis unwilling to take up arms for their own country and freedom isn't good enough. You see, just as simian beasts once clambered down out of the trees and used lightning-originated fires to bake grubs on a stick, so, too, has the United States moved from barbarism to civilized behavior, from primitivism to enlightenment. Now we openly can embrace those who define themselves not as men and women, as patriots, or even (perish the thought) Americans, but as same-sex connoiseurs. This will redefine esprit de corps for a new era, and open whole new worlds of possibilities in barracks life.
And isn't it nifty how these social reengineering projects and outlooks that damage our culture find a basis in the actions and philosophies of other nations? Forget our heritage or our passe Constitution. Why worry about such ephemera when we have such giants of progress as France and Germany to emulate?
