    It's the military. When you sign up for the military you waive many rights that protected by normal citizens. You are official property of the US government as such the rules apply differently to servicemen than to civilians. And mind you I am a Libertarian so civil rights are way up on my list. But this is the military and its not the same.

    if you posted a anti-women bible verse I am sure it would get shot down, as that is not the time or place for religious fanaticism

    with all the sexual abuse scandals, do you think this woudl be appropriate?

    Not fully a person of faith has a right to their beliefs, to have access to religious services and their conscious the issue is can they make those around them uncomfortable so as to disrupt their unit with this, no. A relative serves on an Aircraft Carrier they have religious groups even an Atheist one and each Sailor has a right to religious observance if its not disruptive. But if one handed tracts out and all they would be reprimanded.

    The minute you sign on the dotted line, you have no rights.

    I went to West Point. Officially, religious activities were "optional". Reality, failing to participate could land you in a world of hurt, especially for plebes. If that's being fixed, it's a good thing.

    Is that what this cadet was doing?

    Do any soldiers have the right to talk back to their commanding officer or disrupt training exercises to talk about their sexuality?

    Christianity has been outlawed in the USA when Congress adopted the Noahide Laws as local, national & international policy.
    They are gradually enforcing them.

    Would that include the right to serve as openly gay, the right for two guys to get married, or the right to participate in a drag queen show?

    It is the United States military, not corporate America or the peace corps. If homosexuals want to serve openly maybe they should consider giving up fully tax payer funded salaries. The military has rules, that is the way it is. If they don't like it, don't sign the line.

    Well. The army IMHO should be free of such a contoversy. It's either you serve in the army and obey every order or that you go in for religion or get a bare rear for the intruders. As simple. A good soldier will complete the task of his commander in no time. That is the only thing that matters.
    As for the opposition of homosexuality and christianity it's just insane. ALthough the question in western society is really put that way. You can't compare a banana and a book! They are too different. The same goes with homosexuality and christianity. It just doesn't go together. The only reason why it does is that western propaganda is promoting gays for the moment. There were these short periods in history before. Propaganda is always promoting new idols as "good". And being goods according to christian moralty includes absense of any sexual pervertion. That is an obvious contradiction and that is the only thing which brings some sense in an absolutely absurd comparison.

    The Air Force has had a problem with "Christians" behaving like an internal fraternity
    complete with harassment of non members.

    Just what the world needs,
    some :angel: evangelical piloting a plane carrying "the bomb".
    It is getting Dr. Strangeloveian.

    The Air Force is correct to take action. Just late.

    The military is incorrect in repealing DADT.

    Who cares? Religious lunacy belongs in churches and well away from normal people. You want to preach find a street corner, a military establishment is not the place to start evangelising.

    So all the gays who enlisted and complained about being discriminated against have had no case.

    Thanks for your contribution.

    Homosexual lunacy belongs in bath houses and in the privacy of homes of consenting adults who choose to participate in this debauchery and well away from normal people. If they want to engage in homosexuality find a bathhouse, a military establishment is not the place to participate in debauchery.

    Discrimination is illegal in the military.

    Sign on the dotted line and find out for real.

    Other than in your imagination, who is asserting that this is happening?
