General Pace's Comment

In a newspaper interview Monday, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had likened homosexual acts to adultery and said the military should not condone it by allowing gays to serve openly in the armed forces. This, of course, caused an uproar which started out as a misrepresentation of his actual words. Most news accounts jumped directly to state that he said homosexuals are immoral. There was no attempt to differentiate between homosexuality and homosexual acts. This was despite his clear statement that heterosexuals were also capable of immoral acts in his opinion. Once again, one is not entitled to opinions that run contrary to the PC crowd that buys ink by the barrel. The fact remains that the men and women in the armed forces don't want fags in their midst if it is obvious.
