Some Aide Sez Obama to End DADT

This Blog Gives a Thumbs Up to Ending Don't Ask Don't Tell

Apparently, Obama is going to end the controversial policy. It's difficult to make the argument that ending DADT will mean homosexuals are going to be doing anal and singing show tunes while they are supposed to be engaged in combat. Because, men and women have been serving together in stressful situations and while there's been sexual tension a-plenty. It can be problematic and undercut morale if there is poor leadership, but having a policy that outright bans gays from openly serving is silly and archaic this day and age. The media is going to be asking former generals about the impact of the policy, but they should be asking senior enlisted (y'know, the people that run the military) for how this will impact their units. IMHO, I don't really see how it's going to have a big effect from personal experience. There were gay dudes on my boat, and no one really gave a shit.

What I'm really interested in is these Ivy League schools who have been so averse to the ROTC progra, supposedly because of DADT, that they won't let them back on campus. Has it been a convenient excuse to continue their Vietnam-era policies of being anti-military. Smart money say yes.
