For the second time this year, the House voted to dismantle the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, giving the Senate a final shot in the waning days of this Congress at changing a law requiring thousands of uniformed gays to hide their sexual identity. The strong 250-175 House vote Wednesday propels the issue to the Senate, where supporters of repeal say they have the votes but perhaps not the time to get the bill to the floor.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But you know what I really don’t care what the outcome of this is but, I am bothered by two things. One is that considering the statements about those that those that opposed it should consider leaving then what was the point of all those surveys put out on AKO? There are even emails going out to writers on Army Strong Stories<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\nHello Army Strong Stories Bloggers –<\/p>\n

So why go through all this effort if it is not going to change the outcome. <\/p>\n

Secondly I have to ask how well Afghanistan would be right now if the this same effort in fighting the Taliban as being applied to repealing DADT how better off we would be? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
