re: #157 Obdicut

Basically, this is what you’re saying: If no GOP member is willing to be sane and vote for reasonable things like DADT and DREAM = Democrat’s fault.

DADT, a law about the military, is not a defense issue.

And what does the “military” have to say about it?

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s choice to lead the Marine Corps says he doesn’t think Congress should lift the ban on gay troops who want to serve openly.

Gen. James Amos’ comment came hours before a Senate test vote on a defense policy bill that would repeal the 17-year-old law, known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Amos told a Senate panel on Tuesday he was concerned that unit morale could suffer. He also said the shake up could become a distraction for forces busy fighting in Afghanistan.

I have no problem with openly gay soldiers serving in the military in any capacity. But, then again, I’ve never been in the military, I’m certainly not aware of all the in’s and out’s of military issues and such… but I suspect this man does.
