Every day it gets worse....!!

In my more than twenty years in the uniform of the USA, I occasionally ran into the squirrelly perfumed prince who was more concerned about his promotion record than his troops.. or even in common sense....   

But this story on Breitbart.com goes over the top!

Army Reprimands Soldier for Serving Chick-Fil-A at Private Party

A soldier who served Chick-fil-A sandwiches at a party he threw to honor the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and his promotion to Master Sergeant has received a letter of reprimand. 

by: AWR Hawkins 

The soldier received his promotion last summer, and since "it coincided with national controversy surrounding Chick-fil-A's support of traditional marriage," he decided to serve their sandwiches and celebrate DOMA while he was at it. 
According to a Fox News report, the invitation to the soldier's party read: "In honor of my promotion and in honor of the Defense of Marriage Act, I'm serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at my promotion party."
In response, the military went so far as to put a letter of reprimand in the soldier's file and "an investigation was initiated to see if he had violated any policy." Chaplain Alliance Executive Director Ron Crews said there was even "talk of bringing judicial punishment against" the soldier for a time.
Although the promotion and the party took place last summer, this has turned into an seemingly endless saga that still has the soldier "embroiled in a legal battle." 
As Crews noted, DOMA is the law of the land, and has been since it was enacted under President Bill Clinton in 1996. For honoring that law and serving sandwiches from a business that supports it, a Master Sergeant's career has been imperiled. 


Those of us who stay connected the the US Military are painfully aware that the Pentagon Princes have started prosecuting or firing military chaplains that use such non-pc words as Jesus Christ, Son of God, and other such --- but whoda' thunk....

 They would persecute (not prosecute) a career enlisted NCO for serving Chik-Fil-A sandwiches - despite their association with unpopular stances in the liberal world, at his promotion party?   

 And like Mr Hawkins says -- DOMA is the LAW of the LAND!!!
 Lord save us before PC replaces foxholes.....
