He doesn't support repeal. He opposes it. But unfortunately, he did not have a veto over whether or not it got repealed. That was up to the civilian authorities, who were elected by us, the citizenry. It's not his fault we sent those people to Congress. It is his lawful responsibility to carry out the orders of his superior, even if he disagrees with them, until such time as we're going to abandon civilian control of the military.

This battle is not yet over, and there are ways this could get reversed without Congressional action. But I guarantee you that if the Commandant were not to at least appear to be carrying out his orders, the President would fire him and put someone who really does like the idea of gays in the military in charge.

I would be personally honored to be fired by Øbama for failure to be his butt buddy in charge of sodomizing the Marines.

From the bogus lies the Pentagon spead showing “support” by the troops for the repeal of DADT, to now this enthusiastic statement by Gen. Amos as he pledges his support to lead the way....

I am disgusted by these Pentagon brass-holes.
