30. Bush Pentagon Proposes Legalizing Sodomy for Military.

The move from "Don't ask, don't tell", to ALLOWING sodomy in the military, is about to take place under the watch of our conservative, Republican, Christian President, "Brother" George W. Bush.

Can anyone still defend this reprobate with a clear conscience?

At least homosexual rape of minors is still illegal, so Catholic priest military chaplains are not yet off the hook - but Bush still has nearly four years to work on that.

Bush Pentagon Proposes Legalizing Sodomy for Military

The office of the general counsel at the Pentagon has proposed decriminalizing sodomy among adults according to a memorandum sent to Congress, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

Under Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, it is a crime to engage in "unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex."

The changes proposed by the Pentagon's lawyers would narrow the definition to prohibit acts of sodomy with a person under age 16 or acts "committed by force." Their memorandum says this would "conform more closely to other federal laws and regulations."

SDLN: Pentagon Recommends Repeal of Consensual Sodomy Ban


WASHINGTON -- As reported in this morning's New York Times, the Pentagon has recommended repeal of Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the military's ban on consensual sodomy. The Pentagon's recommendation has been referred to the House Armed Services Committee's personnel subcommittee and is based on guidance from the Joint Services Committee on Military Justice (JSC), a panel of attorneys from each military service that annually suggests changes to the military's criminal code.
