no way. is that because he needs more enlistments for continuing the WoT or whatever it's called now? can't afford to keep having everyone court mart - fedup Jan 27, 16:13 9
- It has always seemed to me that the only people even concerned with DADT are policy wonks. - con_carne Jan 27, 16:18 3
  - Seeing that it's getting good soldiers and officers kicked out isn't enough of a reason. - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 16:22
  - 60+ thousand members of active and reserve forces are gay. I hardly think it's symbolic concern. - TWuG Jan 27, 16:21 1
    - From recent surveys it says that the enlisted men have no problem with it. But it's the generals that seem to still. -- nm - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 16:24
- i don't think there's evidence that it keeps many gays from enlisting as it is. only from serving openly after they do -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 16:15 4
  - But they have "severed" many gays from the military. Some of their best and brightest. - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 16:18 3
    - Not just "best and brightest" but some of the most important, too. Pilots, translators... -- nm - TWuG Jan 27, 16:23
    - that wasn't the point fedup was originally making -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 16:20 1
      - It's a reason for Obama to do it. -- nm - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 16:25
We'll get right on that. (nm) - Conservative Democrats Jan 27, 16:11 1
- I guess they really want to disable the armed forces. -- nm - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 16:13
