So win elections. Sure. That always beats pointless court cases never going anywhere in the first place.
But until that happens, the army will be under a legal obligation it has to fulfill (if Congress does repeal DADT). And the people struggling with how to do that aren’t sell outs.
“And the people struggling with how to do that aren’t sell outs.”
Yes they are, IF, like ADM Mullin they actively embrace it. Like I told you....buy time! Engage in retrograde operations.
Lind is a sell out because she could have allowed LTC Lakin an affirmative defense. She was either a willing or cowardly pawn of corrupt higher echelons. However, we have beaten this issue to death and will never agree on what was proper/ethical/moral (I don’t care about legalese) for the military judge to do.
There are a million ways to delay the onset of DADT until a more conservative congress and POTUS arrive. It will just take some creative actions by senior officers and the lower ranks. The Commandant of the Marines is not a sell out. I’m certain he will conduct retrograde operations to delay and inflict damage on the liberal agenda.
I do know one thing. I don’t want to see anyone sacrifice themselves the way Terry Lakin did. No one should openly fight this....use stealth and politics and the plain truth.
