| Air Force Punishes Colonel Who Refused to Affirm Gaystopo Marriage |
| 2017-10-17 |
| [Townhall] The Air Force has punished a highly-decorated and respected colonel after he refused to publicly affirm the same-sex spouse of a retiring subordinate. Col. Leland Bohannon, who was on the verge of being promoted to a one-star general, was suspended from command and orders were handed down recommending he not be promoted. "His career is likely over and he will likely have to retire as a colonel instead of as a general," First Liberty Institute attorney Michael Berry told the Todd Starnes Show. First Liberty Institute, one of the nation’s most prominent religious liberty law firms, is representing the distinguished military officer. "This sends a clear message - if you do not have the politically correct viewpoint, you are not welcome in the military," Berry said. "The military is no longer a place of diversity and inclusion if you are a person who holds to a traditional belief on marriage." Col. Bohannon has flown combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and he is the recipient of the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Air Medal. Last May the colonel declined to sign a certificate of spouse appreciation for a retiring master sergeant’s same-sex spouse. |

| #4 A "certificate of spouse appreciation"? Seriously? What bullshit. Whoever was the determining GO needs to be garroted publicly. |

| #3 We need a very serious purge of GOs. We already have too many when compared to the WWII ratio of men/GOs. |

| #2 Wrong on too many levels. Maybe Congress made no law, but an illegal order by the idiots in the Supreme Court? I refuse Illegal Orders too. |
