General Peter Pace, America's top military officer in Iraq, believes homosexual acts are immoral and supports the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the U.S. armed forces:
"I believe that homosexual acts between individuals are immoral, and that we should not condone immoral acts. So the 'don't ask, don't tell' [policy] allows an individual to serve the country ... if we know about immoral acts, regardless of committed by who, then we have a responsibility. I do not believe that the armed forces are well served by saying through our policies that it's OK to be immoral in any way, not just with regards to homosexual acts. So from that standpoint, saying that gays should serve openly in the military to me says that we, by policy, would be condoning what I believe is immoral activity."
I completely agree with Gen. Pace's opinion. Soldiers are true American heroes and should be individuals of exceptional moral caliber. The law should not condone immorality, especially not in the armed forces.
