WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials say Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is poised to extend some benefits to the same-sex partners of military members.
The policy change would come about 16 months after the Pentagon repealed its ban on openly gay service.
Officials say Panetta has not made a final decision on which benefits will be included, but the Pentagon is likely to allow same-sex partners to have access to the on-base commissary and other military subsidized stores, as well as health and welfare programs.

Any pair of friends, individuals, roommates, etc should be able to apply for the same benefits.

GREAT! When they’re ordered to shoot us, we know which way the bullets will fly, yup.
Let’s get the lisping spouses in short shorts, rolling their eyes, mincing, and flapping their arms around right into on-base housing, that’d be great...!
Angry people with guns are a problem they want to SOLVE...?
WOW...!

Of course they have. It's long been part of the plan to bring down the military health care system for both retirees and dependents.
Stage one is to get AIDS care paid for by the government.
Stage two is to complain about the "cost of dependent and retiree" care and to demonize them.
Stage three is to move it all to single-payer obamacare.
