So much for the “positive responses” as suggested by Secretary of Defense Gates on all the MSM stations today...
Now we’ll see if the lame duck Congress rejects “don’t ask, don’t tell.” If they do, it will be hell to pay, especially during war time.
From another FR thread earlier today, a great post by Sola Veritas:
“One can only imagine how the questions were worded.”
It was poorly worded. As a reservist, I was randomly picked to answer it, as was my wife. It was worded so poorly that one could not clearly articulate their opposition to the proposed policy change.
It wasn’t exactly a “push poll”, but it seemed like one when I took the survey. I was thoroughly disgusted that it was not possible to say what I trully thought because of the wording of questions. About the only way you could show disdain for the proposal was to say you would leave military service or not recommend it to another if homosexuals could serve openly. You could indicate it would hurt unit cohesion, but it was very hard to do so by the wording.
God. That’s the same type of crap we get from DOD on our Tricare issues. DOD lies all the time. You should see the responses they send to Congress in response to a congressional inquiry.
