Do you know if he supports DADT?
Have not heard. That would be one possibility to his nomination though.
Given that he was nominated, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that he supports its repeal.
If he works for Onada he must. Navy leadership has already been subverted by the left. Onada’s been working on doing same to Army. I do not share some folks enthusiasm for Patraeus. Some reasons:
1. He rolled over for the US soldier threatening ROE in Afghanistan.
2. Nary a peep from the man about DADT.
3. He whined that a US citizen burning a Koran endangered US soldiers. Nary a peep about terrorist hostage beheadings, use of women and children as shields, indiscriminate killing of non-combatants etc.
I will be happy when the man disappears.
