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?

Half Marathon Training end of week 8
I've finished week 8 of my half marathon training. On Tuesday, I ran 6x .5 mile intervals. These were pretty tough for some reason, maybe I was just tired but 6x .5 was worse than 3x mile.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday I ran easy 5 milers. Not much to them, over the same varied terrain as always.
Sunday was a long run, 10 miles to be exact. This is my longest run to date and it went well. I did use an energy gel halfway through, which I haven't used before. It was a Clif Shot, which are quite messy, though it did seem to work.
