Obama could only temporarily suspend Don't Ask Don't Tell with an Executive Order, the Congress would have to vote on it to permanently suspend it... he is proceeding in the right manner.
I dont believe that to be the case..
Clinton created DADT with the stroke of a pen, Obama could undo it just as easily...
The military's top uniformed officer declared Tuesday that gays should be allowed to serve openly in uniform, arguing that it is "the right thing to do."
He told the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday he is deeply troubled by a policy that forces people to "lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens."
DODT is a disgusting slap in the face to everyone in the armed forces and everyone who has served his or her country.
There are many core, fundamental principles underlying our armed forces and the American heroes who form them - dedication, loyalty, selflessness, sacrifice. Two of the most important, I feel, are honesty and integrity.
A law that makes lying and deceit the policy of the US military does nothing short of undermine everything the institution stands for and the men and women who serve within it.
Bring back honesty and integrity to this issue. The debate should be: should we let gays openly serve, or would it be a detriment to readiness and therefore gays should be banned.
The distrust of homosexuals may be influenced by their profligate sexual gratification, and their trolling in public places like washrooms. Heterosexual soldiers may not relish being alone, under fire, with someone who is sizing them up for non-military activities.
Which makes me really curious why the liberals arent outraged over Obama and his inactions.
He could make serving in the military legal within a day just by writing an executive order to under the Clinton executive order which created DADT..
Right now, President Obama is focused on more pressing matters, such as the economy, national health care, 2 Dick Cheney wars that are bleeding this country to death, jobs.
Right-wingers continue their meaningless, baseless criticism of a man who is accomplishing the things that no Republcan could conceive of doing. Pathetic.

The homosexuals are already there. If there are harassment problems occurring, they will be reported after DADT is repealed, just as they are reported now.

Your "strange" statement got me thinking. If heterosexuality was looked as be some as a perversion of human nature and almost criminal, you would be taking your sex life underground too.
It's probably just a minuscule amount of gays that look for sex in public places.
Maybe Senator Larry Craig can shed some likght on the subject.
