[history]
When Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner were searching for a place to get married, they settled on a site in Vermont, in part because the state is in the Eastern time zone.
That way, the two men were able to recite their vows before family and friends at the first possible moment after the formal repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Just after midnight Tuesday, the partners of 11 years were married.

I cannot comment on the article for fear of getting banned from this forum for life.

"It requires you to lie several times a day," Ross said of the old system. "Being in the military is extremely invasive. It becomes a web of excuses you make when you try to be as honest as possible but you can't be honest." He's right. This IS why DADT was a terrible idea. We should go to pre-DADT policy and BAN ALL HOMOSEXUALS. That would make military life much easier.

It’s unfortunate that these girls had to be drafted.

If I were military, I think the only way I could handle it is, when such issues come up, only wish to discuss military matters only.
I can see a less effective military developing from the inability to being able to give an honest opinion.

The question is, can it possibly be undone?I was wondering that too. I don't know the answer to that, but I would assume it could be done. If all the Republican candidates are saying they can do away with something so complex as Obamacare, I would think they could reverse this. Deserves some web surfing.

Now wait for the application for married housing, joint travel orders, spousal ID card & benefits — oh and adoption assistance, etc. etc.
Thanks, Obama and shameful DOD “leaders” who went along with this social engineering.

The Dems wanted to break the monopoly the Republicans had on the military vote.
