The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said yesterday that he’s comfortable with proposed legislation that seeks to repeal the law that bans gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the military because it includes “very clear language” that gives senior leaders the final say in whether it’s implemented.

Notice the word “whether”? As in “if”?

he goes on to say..

““That was what was behind making sure we surveyed our people and our families — to understand … the potential impact,” he told the group. “And I, as a senior military leader in the country, feel obligated to make sure I understand that, so should it change, I can lead that and understand what the impacts are.””

another statement that this is hypothetical, that Mullen still controls whether it happens or not.

““That trigger is to certify whether we should move ahead with that change, even if the law were to repeal it,” he told a reporter following the session.”

1. We are at war.
2. We have skilled people who want to serve.
3. We have a law/policy that discharges competent people for stupid reasons.

Solution: Get rid of the bad law/policy.

This is not rocket science, DADT is a bad idea. Time to get rid of it once and for all. No more studies, no more delays, and NO MORE EXCUSES!
