Dutch gays responsible for Srebrenica massacre says US general

Whatever one may think of homosexuality and the activity of same-sex relationships, I hardly think the testimony of General John Shaheen is helpful. If I got caught in a raging fire I'd never think of asking the firefighter first about his or her sexual activities. "Oooh, you're gay, oh please, pass me more petrol, I've got to stoke this fire and end it all!" What a ridiculous notion.

However, General Shaheen comes before the US Senate and utters a load of rubbish that begs the question, "How did he get to be a general?". It is one thing to have a don't ask, don't tell policy. I've always thought that the best one, but not just for homosexuals. It should be for heterosexuals and any other sexual type. What business is it of anyone to nose into one's private life? Now we get all this fake openness which is just as bad as persecution. If a person is known to be homosexual basically so what. We don't need a court of inquiry to establish the facts. Not telling has been taken as "never, ever say you are", but I think a proper don't ask, don't tell policy is just a case of everyone minding their own business on this.

General Shaheen waffles on about gay soldiers and insinuates that the Dutch Army is run by a gaggle of men that prance about and cannot hurt a fly. He suggests that the massacre at Srebrenica was caused by Dutch gays just letting the Serbs let rip. Preposterous, of course.
