The military's stupid policy of Don't Ask Don't Tell, which prohibits openly gay members from serving is causing a mess in its final death throes.
The Log Cabin Republicans, a gay group, filed suit against the policy. A federal judge so far has indicated they agree. However, President Obama's administration, which says they want to eventually overturn this policy, apparently are angry its being done by judges instead of their impotent congress. So Obama actually asked that the policy be enforced again.
However, the policy had actually been ruled illegal for a week. So for 1 week, it was legal for openly gay members to enlist.
Like I said, a mess. A mess we should never have, since all other countries don't have this type of policy. Countries such as Britain, Israel, and Canada already allow gay members to serve. What is holding us back?
