We are looking forward to an incredible evening with him as we <strong>celebrate and honor our modern military families<\/strong>&#8230;\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That would be the same Ashley Broadway who protested <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2013\/01\/02\/homosexual-denied-membership-in-army-spouses-club\/\">not being included in a spouse group<\/a> she didn&#8217;t even want to be in, and who awkwardly claimed to be a &#8220;devout&#8221; Christian &#8212; while apparently content to be unrepentant. And by &#8220;modern&#8221; families, she means homosexuals.<\/p>\n<p>The nominee, Eric Fanning, was <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2015\/09\/21\/army-secretary-nominee-eric-fanning-and-the-military-culture\/\">temporarily the Acting Secretary of the Army<\/a>, until <!--more-->he was accused of violating the Vacancies Act for filling the position he was nominated for.\u00a0 He stepped down, but his nomination <a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/story\/military\/capitol-hill\/2016\/04\/28\/mccain-blasts-congressman-blocking-army-secretary-confirmation\/83661806\/\">has been on hold<\/a> by Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS) over issues of Guantanamo Bay.<\/p>\n<p>As noted previously, the AMPA has <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2014\/03\/11\/ampa-lobbies-with-uniformed-us-troops\/\">used uniformed US troops in attempts to influence legislation<\/a> &#8212; something frowned upon both by US code and military policy. Despite its status as a non-federal entity, ranking members of the DoD have essentially <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2014\/07\/09\/dod-endorses-homosexual-advocacy-group\/\">endorsed the group<\/a> &#8212; an act generally viewed as contradicting government ethics regulations.<\/p>\n<p>And yet no one seems to care.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, have a uniformed soldier stand up in front of a group and say something positive about religious faith, and it&#8217;s as if a coup d&#8217;\u00e9tat was in progress.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost as if everything is OK if the group in question advocates for same-gender <em>sex<\/em> &#8212; but not if the group advocates for religious faith.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s notable, too, that in this age in which homosexuality is supposed to be a &#8220;non-event&#8221;, homosexual groups continue to publicly celebrate their sexual behavior &#8212; even to the tune of vaunting their $150-a-plate dinners as in this gay &#8220;gala&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think, say, the Secretary of the Air Force would speak to a group of military families who had no other commonality than the fact the men had sex with women and not with each other?
