Introduction:
In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on inclusivity and diversity in various institutions, including the military. While these efforts are intended to foster an atmosphere of acceptance, they sometimes raise complex questions, particularly when it comes to the intersection of religious beliefs and military service. This article explores the concern raised by some conservative voices: the mandating of U.S. Army soldiers to attend LGBTQ events, speeches, and lectures when their sincerely held religious beliefs may contradict these values.
1. The Clash of Values:
It is important to recognize that the U.S. military has always been a diverse institution, comprising individuals with a wide range of backgrounds, beliefs, and values. However, the mandate to attend LGBTQ events can sometimes place soldiers in a moral dilemma. Some soldiers, driven by sincerely held religious beliefs, may find themselves at odds with the messages or values conveyed at such events. This clash of values raises the question of how to respect both individual convictions and the military’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
2. Protecting Religious Freedom:
One of the core principles of American society is the protection of religious freedom. This freedom extends to military service members, who should be able to practice their faith without fear of retribution or coercion. Mandating attendance at events that may conflict with one’s religious beliefs could be seen as an infringement on this cherished freedom.
3. Seeking a Balanced Approach:
While inclusivity and diversity are essential values, it is equally important to ensure that military service members are not forced to compromise their deeply held religious convictions. A balanced approach might involve offering alternative assignments or opportunities for soldiers who have religious objections to attending LGBTQ events. This would help avoid potential conflicts between the military’s commitment to diversity and an individual’s right to religious freedom.
Conclusion:
The mandate for U.S. Army soldiers to attend LGBTQ events, speeches, and lectures should be approached with sensitivity and respect for the deeply held religious beliefs of service members. Striking a balance between fostering diversity and protecting religious freedom is crucial. Encouraging open dialogue and offering alternative assignments or opportunities can help create an environment in which everyone’s rights and beliefs are acknowledged and respected. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that no soldier is forced to compromise their religious convictions while serving their country.

This is by design–never forget that these people HATE YOU, hate your God and view you as “subhuman” just as their Nazi cousins did Jews, and just as with the Nazis at Auschwitz they will seek every opportunity to force you to degrade, debase and defile yourself before your Creator before delivering your personal “final solution.”
Why do I say “your” not “our”? Simple, having been an activist inside the machines of both parties and knowing how the game is played, and with the kinds of people I’ve been associated with through my life, I just assume I’m automatically on The List for a personal visit from some Criminal Misallocation of Viable Organs like Lon Horiuchi in the early hours of Kinetic Kickoff Day so I won’t be here to see it.
