I wonder why there is a 60 day waiting period and how the federal goverment will make this change cost us a few billion. Is it not as simple as saying we will now let gays serve.

Re: Senate Passes Historic 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal
I'm in favor of passing legislation called "Don't Tell, Don't Care". Basically it's a bill that creates 10 million jobs in the US somehow.

Re: Senate Passes Historic 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal
I love the argument some make that "allowing" gays into the military will hurt our military effectiveness because our "allies" in some places are less accepting and that will make it harder to work with them. Haha. That's a good one. Like the same "allies" are just fine with the women and minorities that make up like half of our forces. You can be black and a woman in Saudi Arabia but god forbid you're gay. Then you're out. Idiot argument.

Re: Senate Passes Historic 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal
As someone who served overseas for 6 years, lets just say it's not much of a secret that there are a lot of gay men and women serving. 90% of the time, it's no big deal, everyone knows and just goes about their business. But that other 10% can get pretty ugly, so this legislation is definitely a good thing.
