A vast majority of the public favors repeal. Most troops are comfortable having gay comrades in their barracks, and they serve along side gay soldiers from other nations without incident. The Navy didn’t need a year long study to make the decision to allow women to serve aboard submarines, and I doubt that a single enlisted man in the submarine service was asked for his opinion on the subject. A one paragraph announcement in the press took care of the business.

This one year study is nothing more than a delaying tactic to figure out how to continue the ban and I’d bet dollars to donuts that the major foot draggers are the military chaplains corps.

I for one am sick of being promised change, only to be betrayed and then thrown under the bus. We don’t need friends who take our money, support, and votes and then stand by and do nothing. They may not be attacking us like the Republicans, but they are throwing us under the bus yet again, on ENDA, DADT, DPBO, UAFA, and the promise to repeal DOMA. I am already sorry I voted for the Obama, and the Senate Dems like Warner and other sellout “Blue Dogs” are just as worthless!

This Tuesday is a lobby day in DC. If you can’t make it in person, call or email your members of Congress. This is a policy that must be overturned.
