Depois das acusações de imoralidade...vêm o pedido de desculpas!?

Depois de classificar a Homossexualidade como imoral, as criticas ao seu discurso não se fizeram esperar, obrigando o General Peter Pace Chefe do Estado Maior Conjunto dos EUA, a afirma que não era bem isso que queria dizer.

"The most senior miltary office in the US Armed Forces has admitted he should not have expressed his personal view that homosexuality is immoral.
His admission came after his boss, Defence Secretary Robert Gates, and leading Republican and Democratic politicians condemned his remarks.
Marine General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Chicago Tribune on Monday that homosexual acts are immoral and that the Armed Forces should not be a party to any form of immorality.
He was roundly criticised by gay rights activists, among them Sgt. Eric Alva, the first soldier wounded in the Iraq war, who recently came out of the closet.
However, it was an indirect rebuke from General Pace's superior, Defence Secretary Robert Gates, that may have prompted him to admit he should have kept his views private..."

Uma das vozes que se fez ouvir foi a de Eric Alva, soldado ferido na guerra do Iraque e que saiu do armário no passado mês, o militar pede a Peter Pace que se retrate, afirmando que “julgando gays e lésbicas (…) sem ter em atenção as suas aptidões para servir o exercito, prejudica a eficácia dos nossos militares...”

"Judging gay men and women in the military for factors unrelated to their fitness to serve undermines our military's effectiveness..."
