Commander Reassigned over Opposition to DADT Repeal
The WorldNetDaily previously reported on the anonymous objection by an Army commander to the repeal of the policy known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” and his request to be reassigned rather than be an agent for that change.
The WND is now reporting that he was reassigned to a staff position in accordance with his wishes. Unfortunately, the officer may reveal a fault in his chosen course of action:
He said many of the men under his command share his views.
The men (formerly) under his command are now without his moral leadership. For their benefit, may another man of moral character take his place.

Ahhh yes moral character is defined by being a bigot who does not want to be near icky gays.
So he’s willing to make a statement against gays, just no publicly because he might lose retirement? What a coward.
After reading his view(s) I’m glad he did what he had to do. I hope all “Commanders/Leaders” in the Military that cannot/will not support the laws of this country (including gays serving openly) resign or not be allowed to stay in either.
There are plenty of people willing to step up and do what we do, regardless of sexual orientation. And I agree with JD’s previous post that our leadership should deal with the issues when/if they arise and not jump to any conclusions.
