CMDR Scott Whitefield USN (ret.): The disaster that is the repeal of DADT

By Alliance Alert

CMDR Scott Whitfield, USN (ret.) writing at Catholic Phoenix: "More pragmatically and rather problematically, the repeal concerns the role of military chaplains. What is to become of Catholic chaplains, who minister to servicemen and -women everyday, as well as preach each Sunday on the evils of immoral behavior, including the intrinsic evil that is homosexual behavior? Military chaplains have been imbedded with US forces since the American Revolution. Task forces of Navy ships have chaplains embarked. Each of the service academies have several chaplains assigned to them. Every military facility of appropriate size has a base or post chapel. With the repeal of DADT, will the government now assert control of the content of homilies and sermons to prevent references to homosexuality?"
