Colonel (Chaplain) Ron Crews writes in the Washington Times<\/a> that which will surprise no one at this blog. That since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, the tolerance that gays demanded from the military is not being afforded to to their ideological opponents. Crews recites a litany of examples of intolerance of people, including chaplains, who oppose homosexuality on the basis of faith;<\/p>\n

Senior military officials have allowed personnel in favor of repeal to speak to media while those who have concerns have been ordered to be silent. Two airmen were publicly harassed in a Post Exchange food court as they were privately discussing their concerns about the impact of repeal. A chaplain was encouraged by military officials to resign his commission unless he could \u201cget in line with the new policy,\u201d demonstrating no tolerance for that chaplain\u2019s religious viewpoint. Another chaplain was threatened with early retirement, and then reassigned to be more \u201cclosely supervised\u201d because he had expressed concerns with the policy change, again demonstrating no tolerance for that chaplain\u2019s religious viewpoint.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Crews concludes, in regards to the recent report that life since the repeal is all rainbows and unicorns for everyone in the military;<\/p>\n

Obviously, the recent \u201cstudy\u201d (aka propaganda) claiming that the repeal went off without a hitch should be shredded post-haste. It has no connection to reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colonel Crews continues that chaplains are working with Congress to protect chaplains’ freedom of conscience. That it even needs to be done is a sorry statement on the whole process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
