Never having been in the military I can't speak from experience. My dad had been in the Army and he was opposed to it. And if I recall correctly most of the military leadership at the time was against it, so I think their opinions on what was best should have counted for a lot more that it apparently did.
Now, what exactly does this have to do with all the fun discussions we've been having?
Liar.
NS said "I don't like the way DADT has been repealed but I spent most of my adult life in the military and I think I know a thing or two about it. You gloom and doomers who say this will destroy the military are giving little credit to the hundreds of thousands of men and women in uniform who will not let it. The true professionals in uniform will remain true professionals."
I know that your reading comprehension fast approaches that of a 2nd grader but he in no way endorsed phags in the military. He did say leave it to the military (as opposed to the politicians) and that sadly has clearly been shown to be a mistake.
