McCain and DADT
Posted: Feb 2, 2010
Senator McCain used to say he listened to the top military brass about Don't Ask Don't Tell. He said that more than once and said he would listen when the top military brass came to him and said DADT should be overturned.
Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did that today. McCain changed his mind. His reaction to Mullen and Bob Gates, the Defense Secretary, telling the Senate Armed Services Committee that DADT is not effective was the opposite of the position he claimed when he thought the top brass agreed with DADT.
I guess what McCain should have said was that he listened to the brass when they agreed with him.
DADT will be overturned. McCain will be another dinosaur left to wallow in the tarpit of No. I can't decide if he was full of poo when he claimed he would listen to the brass or if he is just so used to saying no he can't stop now. And it really doesn't matter. He is sinking pretty low either way.

I think it should be DADT...who needs to know? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]?
Should be asking who wants to serve while - hiding in the shadows and why
[ In Reply To ..]is the military not subject to the same EEOC regulations the rest of American institutions are held accountable for? Why waste the talent they bring to the table over uptight gender and sexual orientation phobias. Should females also be banned from wearing jewelry, makeup, perfume, body powder, bras and stockings and be expected to wear flat-tops and bind their breasts against their chests (on and off duty) to conform to male dominated image standards?

US Judge Orders An End To DADT Military Policy, Issues InjunctionOct 12, 2010
America's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which bans gay men and women from serving openly in the US military, suffered a potentially crippling blow tonight after a federal judge ordered a halt to its enforcement.

The fact remains that by a two-to-one margin, Americans do not want this bill to become law. On Saturday, I held town hall meetings in Arizona and we could not find one person who liked this bill. It's shameful that the Obama Administration and Congressio ...
