Army Experiencing Character Problems: Imagine That!

Written on Friday, February 28, 2014 by David L. Goetsch

Secretary of Defense Hagel and others in the Obama administration are expressing concern over a recent study showing that the U.S. Army is experiencing the highest rate of ethical lapses, moral breaches, and character problems in its history. Apparently instances of cheating, lying, stealing, sexual harassment, extra-marital affairs, drug use, and other character-related issues are on the rise in today’s politically-correct, culturally-tolerant, gender-neutral, gay-friendly Army. It is hardly surprising that the Army is experiencing these problems. What is surprising is that Secretary of Defense Hagel and liberals in Congress don’t understand why such problems are on the rise.

Rather than do the hard work of dealing with the root causes of character problems in the Army, Secretary Hagel and liberals in Congress are doing what liberals do best: responding with righteous indignation. Of course their indignation is well-practiced, dripping with artificial sincerity, and hypocritical with a capital “H.” These self-righteous practitioners of moral relativism are using one of the left’s favorite tactics: crying out in protest against the very problems they have caused.

My Take - I wonder if anyone remembers when Clinton was running - both times - and hearing the media and political hacks - same thing - loudly proclaim, "character doesn't count"! I always found this extremely funny since everyone I have ever talked to always wants to business with people of character. 

 

Then these blithering idiots present a irrational argument that if we applied traditional moral standards to politicians we would never find anyone competent to run. Is that nuts or what? Did they really believe only immoral politicians were capable of being competent leaders, and moral politicians (is that an oxymoron?) were all incompetent?  Well, now immorality no longer exists!  The left has made sure everything ok – no matter how sick, depraved or immoral it is.  It’s called leftism - the world’s fastest growing religion.  And the only requirement is an ardent desire to abandon and overturn all traditional values, especially if those values are based on Judaic/Christian principles. 

 

We have lost our minds!
