Homosexualized military telling about country

The NBC news outlet reported June 5 that a recently convened televised meeting was conducted by the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, represented by the highest commanding officers of the five major military branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. All of the commanding officers testified that the sexual assault situation within every military branch is out of control. Last year there were more than 3,374 reported service-related assaults and only 10 percent to 15 percent of the assaults are actually reported, thus translating into between 30,000 and 35,000 such incidents per year.
According to this news report, the major portion of these assaults are “men assaulting men.” The high command officers also testified that the situation had gotten so bad that they are losing control and that discipline throughout the armed forces is rapidly deteriorating, with many soldiers committing suicide - now an average of one per day.
All of the high command officers testified that unless something is done soon, the armed forces of the United States (“the land of the deceived and home of the depraved”) will no longer be able to protect the nation.
Conspicuously missing from this meeting, for obvious reasons, was the military's commander in chief, himself being the nation's self-appointed champion of same-gender perversion.
The feminized/homosexualized degradation of the once-mighty, one highly vaunted U.S. military (which historically has reflected the highest standard of respect and discipline) is a telling and chilling sign of the current decline and impending collapse of American society.
