David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. troops in the Middle East and South Asia, has yet to deliver what he said was an “eight-minute statement” on his views about repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” But in something of a preview, he said “the time has come” to consider repealing the ban on open gay military service, caveating it by saying that a thorough and “thoughtful” study of the issue needs to consider the effects on a military at war. It’s an issue Petraeus said defies “sound bites,” but that’s what we have right now.
