Others interpret DADT as the original slippery slope that led to our current situation. So if you are fighting for DADT, haven’t your principles already been compromised? You are fighting for gays to serve in the military?
That DADT "slippery slope" has been the status quo for how long now? Almost 20 years? The "fight" (in case you're not understanding) is about an openly queer military.
Principles may have been compromised 1992, but now is the time the draw the definitive line in the sand against gays/queers openly serving, commanding, and destroying morale, and thus discipline.
How can you see this latest policy as positive on ANY level? What do you consider "rigid" about opposing the repeal of DADT 100%? How is there any further compromise on this issue?
