DADT Repeal Is OK WIth Troops

Troops have already accepted gays and lesbians serve in the military. It's the chickenhawk Conservative politicians who have the issues.
"Sir, I would say that 70 years ago you and I couldn’t serve in the same Navy, the same Air Force, the same Army because of the color of my skin and because of the social conditions of the day.... The U.S. military was always at the forefront of social change. We didn't wait for laws to change." -- AF Chief Master Sgt. Darryl E. Robinson explaining to Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, why the troops are unconcerned about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell
The 17-year-old DADT policy that bars gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military is similar to the Republicans who want to keep it: out of date and not in step with society.
