Speaking of. According to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Fund’s blog:
We expect the Department of Defense to announce at the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Feb. 2 that ”Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” discharges were down by almost 30 percent last year. Indeed, the department may release the discharge numbers before the hearing. As we alerted you here last week, the new trend is indeed welcoming news, but it is not a substitute for full repeal in 2010.
My emphasis. Crazy, right? At a time of two wars and an “extended surge” in Afghanistan, the Obama administration doesn’t want to throw qualified service personnel out the door just because they’re gay!

All that means is commanders aren't as willing to throw away their top performers in a time of crisis and have squashed a lot of investigations of their own initiative. Wake me when Obama actually fires someone at the Pentagon for their backpeddling and insubordination, and rams the Military Readiness Enhancement Act through Congress.

I have been surfing on-line more than three hours as of late, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours
I’ve desired to write something similar to this on my webpage and this has given me a concept.
