I never understood all the to-do about it anyways.

Way way way beyond time my friend. Why did Clinton ever agree to that for heaven's sake? All the valuable men and women who have been "kicked out" over the years for something so irrelevant as who they choose to love is beyond absurd. It is illogical, shameful and embarrassing. Might as well kick out all the brown-eyed people or all the people who are redheads/dyed heads or those who prefer classical music to rock. :(

I haven't read the details. Does it mean the end of all discrimination, such as in the British forces? +4 Shemarq

It is about time! I don't see him saying when though, do you? I want a time table for it!

I think it was a horribly hypocritical policy,I have read autobigraphies of people in the service who were gay and actually got married to opposite sex gays to avoid detection. I believe Clinton promised to end discrimination but then chickened out.+5

I like the policy. I wish it applied to every aspect of our lives. +5

love is a battlefield..Prez puts BAM in Obama!!

I think he will try. No sure he will succeed though. There is going to be a lot of resistance. In the military as well as in the populace.

I'm tired of his talking about it. Why doesn't he do it already. What is the big deal. Just end it. Today!

I think it's long overdue.

Seems like a good model for all workplaces. I don't care about your sex life, don't ask about mine. Seems like a simple concept brought about in the Clinton administration.

I predict it's going to be a lot more dramatic and traumatic situations in the military. Open gays get fired, get beaten by the fellow soldiers, and sometimes get attacked and killed. I personally believe that a policy "don't ask, don't tell" eliminates a lot of emotional traumas. Clinton initiated? I am not Bill's fan but I should give him a credit for it. LOL

When it was instituted under the Clinton administration I thought it was a cowards way out.
