On Thursday, a dwindling number of World War II vets will gather in France to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion which liberated Europe from Nazi tyranny. But it appears the Pentagon under President Joe Biden has a different mission this June: promotion of "LGBTQ+ Pride Month."
For example:
- The US Navy Special Forces Pride Month post is real
- Navy and Coast Guard sail into Pride Month with colorful posts
- Pentagon mistakenly touts Pride Month in PTSD awareness post
They are far from God …A former Air Force pilot says the Pentagon's celebration of service members who engage in a deviant lifestyle continues to have a negative impact on those who hold true to the biblical morals and ethics that America was founded on. "However you want to frame this, it all comes down to an enormous amount of attention being focused on things below the beltline instead of focusing on bullets and military readiness," says Bishop Derek Jones. Jones, who now serves as executive director of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, say LGBTQ service members need prayer. 
"They're lost – they don't know Christ [and] they're far from God," he tells AFN. "This is where scripture talks about where we're calling evil good and good evil. These individuals are also negatively impacting the careers of those who hold true to natural law, to the biblical morals and ethics that this country was founded on." A change in leadership is necessary, Jones argues – and it starts at the ballot box. "People have got to start voting politically for those individuals who hold to traditional values, to natural law, to a biblical morality and ethos," the 28-year Air Force veteran emphasizes. "And we've got to stop being afraid to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in the places that we live and work. "… Somewhere along the way, these folks became confused … and then somebody told them it was okay to be confused … and then somebody celebrated the fact that they were confused – and now there they are advocating for everybody else to be confused. That's just the devil at work." |
Bob Maginnis is a senior fellow for national security at Family Research Council. He has witnessed firsthand the moral depravity that has been pushed by leftists in the U.S. military. He is hopeful a new president will fire the military leaders who are responsible for this agenda.
"There's going to have to be a massive accountability. I would call it a re-education," he tells AFN. "Most of them know this is wrong, but they've allowed it to happen."
Maginnis isn't alone when he argues the pro-LGBTQ push within the U.S. military detracts from servicemembers' ability to do their job when the country is facing perhaps the most dangerous threats ever.
"And yet here we are, focused on things that have nothing to do with war-fighting and everything to do with abomination. That's where we are today with this administration," he laments. "These people are beyond the pale. They need to be replaced – and the sooner the better."
And Maginnis is appalled by a recent report that a Veterans Administration hospital in Florida replaced the American flag with an LGBT flag.
"Why didn't somebody tear it down? By what authority did they replace the national flag of this country with something like that?" he wonders. "I don't understand that. That's an appalling thing that never should happen – and this social agenda is not important to America if we're going to survive as a country."
Meanwhile, a military veteran-turned-television host has revealed how he became a victim of the social agenda and quit the military when his superiors booted him from an assignment after they noticed he sported a Christian cross tattoo.
Hegseth got the hook
In a recent appearance on Fox News, Pete Hegseth – one of the weekend hosts of "Fox and Friends" – related what happened when he was in the National Guard during the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
"I'd served under Bush, served under Obama, served under Trump – and now I was going to guard the inauguration because I was in the DC Guard," he shared. "It's a long story … but ultimately members of my unit in leadership deemed that I was an extremist or a white nationalist because of a tattoo I have – a religious tattoo … a Jerusalem cross. But it was used as a premise to revoke my orders to guard the inauguration."
Hegseth admitted he's not certain it was because of the tattoo, but …
"Was it because I'm a Trump supporter? Was it because I'm a patriot extremist, which is another label they use? Maybe it's because I work at Fox News."
Ultimately, Hegseth left the military.
