Son Of Lemon-Chicken Hunter Tries To Derail DADT Repeal
unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: What makes this newbie 'key'? :(





Bill requires service chiefs to sign off on DADT


New bill seeks to slow DADT repeal
By Rick Maze - Staff writer
Posted : Friday Jan 14, 2011 15:16:16 EST

A key lawmaker seeks to slow the repeal of the military’s ban on openly gay troops by getting the services chiefs — who have expressed concerns about how this change might affect combat units — involved in the pre-implementation certification process.

2. I'll post one sentence too... for review purposes...

The draft bill would mandate that before the ban can be repealed, the service chiefs also would have to certify that changing the policy “will not degrade the readiness, effectiveness, cohesion, and morale of combat arms units and personnel of the Armed Forces under the officer’s jurisdiction engaged in combat, deployed to a combat theater, or preparing for deployment to a combat theater.”

_____

Sounds like rules that could be also used again people who are not of a 'certain faith' or have any belief in organized religion as well. Probably will serve to be their future-option for turning the military into a protestant God-Army... like they have done with the Boy & Girl Scouts.
