US Senate okays soldiers to Be Intimate with horses

Written by Friday, 09 December 2011


THE United States Senate, on Thursday evening, voted 93-7 to approve a defence authorisation bill that includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, it also repeals the military ban on sex with animals – or bestiality.

On November 15, the Senate Armed Services Committee had unanimously approved S. 1867, the National Defense Authorisation Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.

It states: "(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal Reproduction with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offence. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Family Research Council President, Tony Perkins, said the effort to remove sodomy from military law stemmed from liberal Senate Democrats’ and President Barack Obama’s support for removing the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.

“It’s all about using the military to advance this administration’s radical social agenda,” Perkins told CNSNews.com. “Not only did they overturn Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but they had another problem, and that is, under military law, sodomy is illegal, just as adultery is illegal, so they had to remove that prohibition against sodomy.”

Perkins said removing the bestiality provision may have been intentional--or just “collateral damage.”

“Well, whether it was inadvertent or not, they have also taken out the provision against bestiality,” he said. “So now, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), there’s nothing there to prosecute bestiality."

Former Army Colonel Bob Maginnis said some military lawyers had indicated that bestiality might be prosecutable under another section of the military code of justice – the “catch-all” Article 134 for offences against “good military order and discipline.”

“But don't count on that,” he said.

“If we have a soldier who engages in sodomy with an animal – whether a government animal or a non-government animal – is in fact, a chargeable offence under the Uniform Code? I think that’s in question,” Maginnis told CNSNews.com.



“When the reader stops laughing, the reader needs to ask the question whether or not this is in the best interests of the government, in the best interests of the military and the best interests of the country? I think not.

He added: “Soldiers, unfortunately, like it or not, have engaged in this type of behaviour in the past. Will they in the future, if they remove this statute? I don’t know.”

Perkins said there was no attempt to remove the UCMJ repeal provision from the bill, which Perkins had expected the Senate to approve.

Now that it has passed, however, the Senate version will have to go to a conference committee, and Perkins predicts there will be several sticking points with the House.

“The House, in their version of the defence authorisation, reinforced the Defence of Marriage Act, saying that there is a military DOMA as well, prohibiting same-sex marriage on military bases —something the Department of Defence is pushing for,” he said.

“And now this is an added concern, that sodomy has been removed, and as we have discovered, that bestiality — the prohibition against it — has been removed from the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So yes, the House will have problems with this bill.”

@OP, it would have taken no more than a couple of mins to verify that report - if only you had tried

Now, in its rush to accommodate the left, Congress may have inadvertently opened the door to even more perversion,” Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council said in a statement. “As part of the defense authorization bill, liberals are pushing to make sodomy a legal activity under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. In its haste to make ga.y sex an official part of military life, the left could be unintentionally repealing the ban on bestiality too.
