"and that the partners of gay troops will not receive the benefits of heterosexual spouses."

How long do you think this is going to last? Within a couple years, we'll be paying for the partner's benefits just like heterosexual spouses. I'm glad I'm retired. I can't imagine what this must be like. I can remember the outrage when "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was implemented. That's nothing compared to this...

It will last only as long as DOMA lasts, IMO.

How long that will last? NOT LONG

It also stated that the policy on transgender/transexuals are not included. Another policy that will fall.

I’ve said it before; but I’ll say it again, the Clintons paved the way handily for the outrages of the current occupant of the White House.

Military had worked alright for many years; (my father said that when he was in the infantry, the blazing homosexuals washed out - couldn’t hack it). Reality is an accurate culler; but now reality has to be altered to accommodate utter crap so no one’s feelings will be hurt. - Well, I’m 64, and MY feelings are hurt about not being catered to by the military and its DISCRIMINATIONATORY PRACTICES.
