Military moralism

March 13th, 2007 by Joe

In a recent interview, Marine General Peter Pace demonstrated himself to be a “paragon of virtue,” speaking expansively as to why he believed the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy essentially banning gay people in the military was appropriate:

“I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts. I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way. As an individual, I would not want [acceptance of gay behavior] to be our policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy that if we were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with somebody else’s wife, that we would just look the other way, which we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behavior.”

That’s right, General Asshat, because it’s morally upright and we are well-served to expose ourselves to further terrorist attacks by kicking out all your gay linguists, and because we’d rather order our injured troops back into combat, as long as those damn faggots don’t immorally cornhole each other under your command.

Idiot.
