BRYAN FISCHER (HOST): I've got a story here. I found this on Yahoo of all places. And this -- this is, this is a tragedy that nobody’s talking about. I call this the hidden horror of homosexuality. I'm working on a column on this, probably be ready tomorrow. But the hidden horror of homosexuality is homosexual rape. We got a study, the Department of Defense biannually every two years, they issue a report on sexual assault in the military. And they, in their latest report, they reveal that sexual assault within the ranks is up by 38% over the last two years. So women are victims. This is why I think women in uniform is a bad idea. Many other reasons, they don't have the strength and the stamina for the job. But also, you put male soldiers in close proximity, sharing intimate quarters with females, you're going to get problems.
...
So ladies and gentlemen, when we said that homosexuals should not be allowed to serve openly in the United States military, we knew what we were talking about. We were right when we said it. And the Department of Defense is now confirming everything that we said at the time. We have an epidemic now in the military of male on male sexual assault and sexual assault, sexual rape. You know, and the combat PTSD suffers, they, they resent the fact that rape victims are being included as PTSD sufferers. That somehow their suffering is the same as getting wounded in combat. So you can kind of understand this would be a little bit of a problem for them. And Yahoo profiles seven victims. One guy was sexually hazed in a shower during Marine boot camp. He still to this day cannot even take a shower. Here's another guy also was abused in a shower, spent 14 days in the hospital, never reported the crime and still has not gotten over it. Five other victims, same deal. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, bottom line is homosexuals do not belong in the United States military. The end.
