General Peter Pace on immorality

To paraphrase Shakespeare, " The General doth protest too much, methinks".

The General seems to be very worried about homosexual relations, and his belief in the immorality of these relations.

Let us speak of the immorality of thousands of US soldiers dead, tens of thousands of soldiers grievously wounded and more tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women and children dead and wounded, all because of this evil, ill conceived and incompetently prosecuted war.

Let us speak of the immorality of wounded soldiers returned to Walter Reed and housed in rat infested, cockroach overrun, and mold encrusted quarters. You can be certain that these Generals would not keep their pet dogs in such conditions.

Let us speak of Generals whose main concern would seem to be the number of medals they can pin on their chest, all the while strutting about in self glorification.

Let us speak of the far right "Christians" whose moral compass seems more pointed to acquisition and consolidation of power unto themselves and their cohorts, rather than concern for the well being of mankind.

They claim to follow Jesus and his teachings. Are they aware of this one? Sometimes called the Golden Rule.

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12, King James Version.
