Deaths at Srebrenica Because of Gay Soldiers???

I almost don't know where to begin.  This has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Retired Gen. John Sheehan stated before a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that poor morale over openly gay Dutch soldiers was partially responsible for the failure of NATO forces to prevent the city of Srebrenica from being overrun by Serbian forces in 1995.  Some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in the massacre.

But to suggest that poor morale over openly gay Dutch soldiers was part of the problem is outrageous.  There are no single words that can adequately describe how stupid a statement that was.

The Dutch Chief of Staff at the time of the Srebrenica incident has called Gen. Sheehan's remarks, "total nonsense".

That's a good start, but there are so many other words for it:  stupid, idiotic, blinkered, bigoted, homophobic.  Did I mention "stupid" already?
