A retired U.S. general says Dutch troops failed to defend against the 1995 genocide in the Bosnian war because the army was weakened, partly because it included openly gay soldiers.
The comment by John Sheehan, a former NATO commander who retired from the military 1997, shocked some at a Senate Armed Services Committee, where Sheehan spoke in opposition to a proposal to allow gays to serve openly in the U.S. military. Committee Chairman Sen. Carl Levin told Sheehan he was "totally off-target."...
Well, Sheehan has apologized for making such a claim, basically throwing his self-refutation in with the already complete debunking of himself.
He makes it sound like the whole fabrication was nothing more than a poor recollection at the time: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/36109141#36109141
Hatred isn't a terrible guess. I'd hesitate to insist I knew the reason Sheehan would make such an already easily debunked claim, quoting a name as a source who simply doesn't exist. Fear of change? Religious reasons? I can't imagine his is a reasonable or enlightened motive.
I was very shocked to learn recently that supposedly many of the top ranking German officers under Hitler were homosexuals. Perhaps there is a link there after all.
Well it seems a bit of a stretch to connect this particular result with the abomination. But Romans 1:18 to 27, teaches that if a people reject the Word of God then the effect is to turn them into vile and unnatural lusts. This leads to the following verses which illustrates how this community goes from bad to worse......
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
