The repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy may hit a road block in Congress next week.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, is drafting a bill that would change how - and possibly if - the repeal is implemented. The repeal law passed in December requires the president, defense secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to certify that the military is ready for the change. Hunter's bill would require the four service chiefs to also sign off on the policy change.
At a December hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force chiefs expressed concern about the effect a possible repeal of the ban on homosexuals openly serving in the military would have on active combat units.
Joe Kasper, a spokesman for Hunter, said the congressman wants the chiefs involved in the process to ensure the repeal "doesn't impact combat readiness."

People need to get in touch with their Representatives and tell them "VOTE FOR IT OR YOU GET VOTED OUT NEXT ELECTION"!
Good question. Why is there not a greater hue and cry among Republicans about repealing the repeal of DADT? I don’t understand it. Open homosexuals would be a disaster for the men who do the hardest fighting — the Marines. The Marine Corps commandant vehemently opposed the repeal. Don’t Republicans care about that?
anyone not supporting Hunter on this is supporting the commie manifesto
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm.
If those liberals on here do not believe then look at the commie rules from back in 1963.
This and health care should be overturned ASAP
what they want is to give equal rights based on sexual preference so going by their logic then we should give equal rights to those who have consenting incest, animals, 9 wives and so on.
It’s all totally nuts and to do what the communist manifesto says they should do is plain insanity and only destroying this country but of course that is what the 1963 communist manifesto wants
no they don’t care because they live in their elitist bubble surrounded by special interest groups.
They have no idea what the average guy or gal wants along with what we vets or those serving want .
They actually think that most want openly serving homosexuals because they have been told that by the darling media, the special interest groups and those at their cocktail parties.
Of course it is not true but hey we have never seen how DC stays with the facts anyway.
Manning showed us all how openly serving homosexuals should not be in along with those who chained themselves to the white house gates etc.
Thanks for the note about the 1963 communist manifesto. That prompted me to keep a hard conpy for reference.
no problem.
I read it the other day and it was astounding to read and what the left have done.
I’ve since printed it out and showed it to many people I know and those who come round here to my house to visit.
I showed it to a Dem voter who at first refused to believe it .
Course after much debate and her looking up many sources she admitted that maybe the Dem party and the media might have been taken over.
I mentioned when Obama said at the state of the union, my republican friends and my progressive friends, note not Dem.
