WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama will allow gays to serve openly in the military by overturning the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy that marred President Clinton's first days in office, according to incoming White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

Yep, feminists created the situation and then got on TV and acted like judges ON IT . So this open Homo-military idea is setting up military for a disaster. It will require pro-homosexuality (behavior) senstivity classes and affirmative action. You will need to check off homosexuality on a AA form when you sign up, “how many PROMOTED officers desire same-sex? Under represented? Goals and timetables” as Jesse says.

There will be gay snitches reporting on the "activities" of any "straights" they don't like.

There will Politically Correct bullying by the newly empowered gay troops over this.

Way to go, OKenyan! Impair the effectiveness of the trops in the middle of a war!
