Case Number: 3:11-cv-01567-DMS-JMA
-versusPresiding Judge: Dana M. Sabraw
Referring Judge: Jan M. Adler
United States Government,
Defendant.
Request to block the repeal of "don't ask don't tell"
1.
I respectfully request fast track to the Supreme Court of the United States to
block the repeal of “don’t ask don’t tell”. The reason is that there is not enough time to
go through the lower courts and lives are at risk among other reasons. I also request a
waiver for all fees as I cannot afford it and as we all know justices does not have a price
tag. The following additional information is given:
2.
Repeal of “don’t ask don’t tell” referred as “dadt” in this document will
adversely affect unit cohesion in our military reducing its effectiveness in combat and
causing deaths solely due to irresponsible ideology from lawmakers that have had little or
no experience in the military and seem only to want to damage our military, something
that seems to be a mental condition of “hate America for the sake of hating America”.
They should at least be evaluated from a competent psychiatrist before something
irreversible and as large as this is implemented.
3.
Forcing military males to take showers with gay males is putting them on
display for the enjoyment of the gays. It is the same as if you forced military women to
take showers with military heterosexual males. It’s sexual preference, not gender.
4.
The suicide rate in the military is already one of the highest in history.
Forcing heterosexual males to live with homosexual males will just add to that anxiety,
causing even more deaths and for what, because of an ideology. The policy should at
least be evaluated by a competent psychiatrist to determine if this new policy will
increase depression in the military and increase suicides. This isn’t asking too much to
save just one life let alone many.
5.
58% of combat forces claim that homosexuals in the military will adversely
affect their mission. Again we are talking about the loss of lives. As an example of a
double standard, the shootings in Arizona were a terrible thing yet liberal lawmakers
wanted to make new laws taking away more of our freedoms to try to prevent a once in
every two hundred year occurrence. Where is the same concern for our military who are
killed nearly every day due to irresponsible liberal ideology such as having our men in
Afghanistan read Miranda rights to captured enemy which reduce their intelligence
gathering and cause an increase in military deaths. I was an army helicopter pilot in
Vietnam and can give numerous examples there. Another example of liberal ideology
causing our military to die is constantly telling our enemy the date we will withdraw
forces. This gives our enemy no incentive to stop their warfare and gets more of our
military killed. It seems that liberal bias in our median has made this practice acceptable.
6.
It’s not surprising that the majority of non-combat military don’t have a
problem with homosexuals in the military given that seven of the top eight major news
channels have a strong liberal bias along with talk shows and comedy shows. At least
have a competent psychiatrist evaluate the percentage of people who are indoctrinated by
that influence and if it skewed the results. I believe that percentage is nearly equal to the
percentage of Americans who oppose the war, another example of indoctrination and
skewed results due to biased information.
7.
There wasn’t even an adequate debate on the repeal of dadt. It was rushed
through on a Saturday afternoon because they knew it would never pass if they waited
until the new congress. Lack of sufficient debate when lives are at risk is
unconscionable.
8.
As an army helicopter pilot, homosexuals in the Red Cross would take one
hour showers and just stare at other males taking showers. If it was the other way around
and heterosexual men were doing the same to women, liberal ideologists would
immediately be filing a lawsuit in court in addition to having the perpetrators jailed. That
kind of double standard is discrimination which is prohibited by the Constitution.
9.
An 1/1/11 article in the New York Times titled “Missed Before Soldier’s
Lonely Afghan Death says- "Ever since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began, suicides
among American troops have been soaring, as military personnel become mentally
exhausted and traumatized from repeated deployments to combat zones ... emotionally
fragile young man filled with insecurities". Forcing our military to live, sleep and take
showers with homosexuals will just add to the anxiety and cause more suicides. At least
have numerous psychologists without an ideology evaluate this.
10. My last two years of college was at the University of Miami. I didn’t have the
money to reserve a dorm. The second year, there was a huge dorm shortage. I slept in my car for
weeks and that’s a two page story in itself with hassles with campus security, the heat, the
mosquitoes, trying to organize living out of a car, etc. There were also houses on campus for
married couples and they had too many of them. They started putting multiple people in them as
dorms. They put me in with a bunch of gays. I can’t imagine doing that to an 18 year old with
the added burden of combat.
11. Lawmakers who implemented the law don’t seem to have a grasp of what
happens in the real world let alone the military. Also, the young in the military are more
sexually active. At least get statistics of the venereal disease lines after an aircraft carrier
has been to Subic Bay and have a competent committee evaluate how having
homosexuals in the military might have a similar affect among the young and
irresponsible with a much more deadly disease. That’s not asking much to save lives.
12. The damage to morale will also cause more of our military to die. There’s a
scene in the movie “Deer Hunter” where one minute they are in their hick town partying
and the next minute they are being mortared in Vietnam. When you’re 18 or 19 years old
you have no idea what that transition is like. You’ve got way too many problems as it is.
Suicide rates are already high. You don’t need the additional problems of homosexuals
making advances or gays taking one hour showers so they can admire the scenery.
Anyone that says it doesn’t happen is ill advices and/or inexperienced. You don’t need
that added anxiety not to mention what it does to morale.
13. There are homosexuals in the Red Cross who are also stationed in combat
areas. Before the military does something irreversible, how about having hundred of
them live with heterosexual combat military to see how it works out before doing
something permanent that will cause deaths forever in our military? These people are
going to know they are under a microscope and that should be considered.
14. Liberals just love to use the word "homophobia". If being offended by
someone staring at me in the shower or offering to put his mouth on my genitalia or
worse makes me a homophobe, I'll admit it. Stateside in the military, homosexuals would
ride around in cars and stop and hold their thumbs up to their mouth offering sex. Are
the lawmakers even aware of things like this and the problems that anxiety causes?
Those same liberals would be having a Fred Sanford coronary if it was a guy doing that
to a girl and it's another example of their double standard on everything. It’s just another
example of bias and discrimination which is prohibited by the Constitution.
15. I’m sure government lawyers will critique my writings and format to the gill
but I can’t afford a lawyer. If it were the same for an illegal alien with similar law skills
the government would have no problems providing an attorney. This is another example
of bias and discrimination which is prohibited by the Constitution. I work for a living
and have little time and had to meet a deadline as the military has a March 2011 for dadt.
Sincerely on July 6, 2011,
Bernard Hess
