The Left and the Gay Looby begged and screamed for “Dont Ask” just 15 years ago... and claimed victory when Clinton got it passed. Now they spit at it, as if it was an oppression forced upon them 150 years ago... and blame Republicans.

No she won’t. The first two years are a freebie. You sign a commitment when you start the Fall of your 3rd year.
