THe PC Police Again Shut Down Truth Seaking

English translation of Pink Army news release

The Homosexuality and Army Foundation (SHK, by its Dutch initials) supports the Pink Army initiative. According to the chairman of the board Major Peter-Kees Hamstra, there will be no problem in finding the seven military personnel still needed to start the class-action lawsuit! We also have the support of COC Netherlands.

On Thursday, March 18, 2010, the former American Gen. John Sheehan testified under oath before a Senate committee in Washington, D.C., that the fall of Srebenica and the subsequent mass killings were a consequence of having gays in our [the Dutch] army. The Dutch government, various political parties and military leaders immediately expressed anger and disgust with these statements. But is that enough?

Now that retired Lieutenant Gen. Henk van den Breemen says that he does not share Sheehan’s opinion on the role of gays in the tragedy and that he had never spoken with the American about the matter, it is clear that one of the two is not telling the truth. The Netherlands was the first country where gay soldiers could openly avow their nature [being gay]. Since 1974 we have had that right. We also dare to propose that Sheehan is dragging the name of (gay) Dutch military personnel through the mud " and, by so doing, the reputation of all gays in the world " in an attempt to withhold that same right from gay military personnel in the United States. Thus, the comment [Sheehan’s testimony] had a political purpose.

Help us to set this matter straight. Make it clear to Gen. Sheehan and the rest of the world that there is not a grain of doubt that homosexual men and women function every bit as well as every other soldier. Homosexuals are equal in every area and have the same rights, duties and capabilities as other citizens. Pink Army is preparing a class action suit in the federal court in California with the aim of establishing the [testimony as] slander and forcing Sheehan to concede that his statements are untrue and slanderous. We will make the following demands in the legal writ:

1. that Gen. Sheehan places an advertisement with an unambiguous rectification and an apology in the most important newspapers in the United States and the Netherlands;

2. that he organizes a press conference in which he retracts his statements and apologizes;

3. that the general undergoes sensitivity training to learn to better get along with people whose nature is other than his;

4. reimbursement of court and lawyers’ fees.

What is needed to be able to proceed?

First, we seek seven gay Dutch military personnel who are prepared to serve as interested parties in the class action suit, so that we can begin a legal case in the California court.

Needless to say, money is also needed to conduct the procedure. If everyone who would like to support our action donates [ten euros] we will be able to finance the process. Large contributors are also welcome and can display the Pink Army logo on their Web site.

Finally, we are also looking for several volunteers who can help our offices in all kinds of tasks.

In the event that Gen. Sheehan retracts his statements and apologizes before the start of the court case, or if funds are left over [after it], we will donate these to an organization that serves the interests of gay Dutch military personnel.

Support Pink Army and pass the word

However, after Bosnia the major place the Brits have been was holding Basra Iraq for several years. Their work left a lot to be desired.

Hawkeye10 and Ions I am amazed to run into such first class bigots as you two gentlemen

you have just one little bit of proof that sexual tensions that we all are surrounded by day in day out in our normal lives will cost anything at all when it come to the military?

That one soldier or one police officer or one fireman will or had die because of the introduce of mixed crews or gay crewmembers at high risk occupations?

Your kind of thinking or lack of same remind me of the history of blaming the Jews for economic hardships or even the spread of diseases in Europe for century after century.

Now that claiming to be gay is no longer a red letter, anyone who would care to get out of serving would have little or no problem checking the box for homosexuality.

gays in the military is not the point, it is an example of the point.

I read the news everyday and I've yet to hear of any problems.

Pilots taking female soldiers up for joy flights to have sex with them.

As usual your stupidity is baffling. Homosexuals (they stopped being gay when AIDS killed them in droves) have always served in the military. I know of several. So long as they never had sex with other soldiers, they were tolerated. Women joined and demanded as a fundamental human right that they fall on their backs for whomever and whenever they wanted or there would be sexual harrasement charges. Now you want to make the problem worse and you think you arent a racist sexist bigot ? You simply havent the guts to admit your bigotted nature against white anglo-saxon protestant males. You are not a white anglo-saxon protestant male are you Miss William ?

is somehow a worst problem if the women are also in the military?

Joy rides on military jets will not and had not happen involving civilian women? Sex between the civilian wives of military men had not happen

Sorry but your stories had not shown that women in fighting units will add any more to the problems sex can cause in the military.

Oh my god my friend John who got me time in a million dollars plus F16 airforce flight simulator was doing so to hit on me and I never knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord here I was under the impression that they keep people like you in a museum somewhere right next to the cave men and never allow you access the net. to the net.

You are not a white anglo-saxon protestant male are you Miss William
