If the Pentagon and the President were all so friendly for gays...then I don’t understand why they don’t just throw down their playing cards and do the “right thing”? It almost makes me think that they really want this to drag out and be some Republican problem in 2011...which would translate into lots of votes in 2012. This is one of the most foolish political acts that I’ve seen in years.
The Pentagon is enforcing a policy mandated by Congress. Don’t blame them. We have civilian control over the military in this country.
