As a USAF vet and life-long LCMS Member, this continuum of the abolishment of DOMA and a legacy of C-in-C Clinton's "Don't ask, dont' tell" policy, evokes a visceral response in me. I am angered and ashamed at the US Govt's cowardly response to the 0.01% of Service Members, and their blatant disregard for the US Constitutional Rights of the vast majority. The Military is the last place we need "social experimentation". Worse, The DoD has lost it' Moral Compass, and that WILL have a disasturus effect on the overall Warior Spirit, should the USA become involved in a major armed, Boots-on-the-ground, "Death From Above" conflict. It these uncertain times, I find it appropriate to reread Martin Luther's 1521 Treatise 'Can Solders to be Saved?'
