Top U.S. General Apologizes For Speaking The Truth

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. military officer, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, tried on Tuesday to calm anger that erupted after he described homosexual acts as immoral, saying he was expressing only his personal views.

Gay rights activists and Democrats criticized the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff for his comments and a veteran Republican senator voiced his disagreement.

"I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts," Pace said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune published on Tuesday.

"I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is okay to be immoral in any way."

Anyone that is a Christian, believes the same way. For someone like Gen. Pace who believes he serves God and country, this should not be a surprise.
