Retired U.S. general: Gays made Dutch weak in Bosnia

Here's one retired US General's take on the introduction of openly gay soldiers in the military, as he goes on the record here in the article below partially blaming genocide and the "overall weakness and poor performance  of Dutch armies during the war in Bosnia" on their very presence in the units and on the battlefields.

I don't what would make him think that having openly gay soldiers  prancing around amongst the  blood thirsty enemy trying to kill our fighting men would keep them from being "out toughed  and manned" by  heterosexual men accounting for about the other 98.99999% of the forces here and anywhere else in the world.

Do you? I mean, come on,  I don't know about you folks out there, but this guy would sure scare the living shit out of me chasing me out of the shower or around the barracks snapping his towel at everyone's asses in the locker rooms, even on the front lines, that's for damn sure.

Or how about the one to the right? That swell couple looks pretty "bad assed" to me, Ya know? pun intended.  (well at least "grab assed")

Or what about these guys here? Nothing says to the enemy at wartime "run for cover and for your lives Muhammad " than two gay soldiers doing their rounds while holding hands and carrying the Gay flag around with them everywhere like it's a Gay Pride parade. 

Especially 2 openly gay Jews on patrol  in the Muslim world, as we all know how much they really love this shit over there in the Middle Ages Mideast alright, they just can't get enough, especially in Iran.

Now in all seriousness and just to finalize my point; who would you rather have manning the 50 caliber machine gun in your foxhole right next to YOU while in battle fighting for you and your unit's very lives?

These guys, or the swell  fella's pictured above?  The prosecution rests.

I'll take these guys thank you, you can have the others for your "rainbow coalition welcome wagon unit".....

My Way News -: "WASHINGTON (AP) - 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 in 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.'

A Dutch defense ministry spokesman dismissed Sheehan's remarks as nonsense. Britain, Canada, Australia and Israel as well as the Netherlands allow gays to serve openly.

Sheehan said European militaries deteriorated after the collapse of the Soviet Union and focused on peacekeeping because 'they did not believe the Germans were going to attack again or the Soviets were coming back.'

Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and other nations believed there was no longer a need for an active combat capability in the militaries, he said. 'They declared a peace dividend and made a conscious effort to socialize their military - that includes the unionization of their militaries, it includes open homosexuality.'

Dutch troops serving as U.N. peacekeepers and tasked with defending the town of Srebrenica in 1995 were an example of a force that became ill-equipped for war.

'The battalion was understrength, poorly led, and the Serbs came into town, handcuffed the soldiers to the telephone poles, marched the Muslims off, and executed them,' Sheehan said"  continued
