Yesterday afternoon on KGO Talk Radio DADT was the topic of conversation. The guest was a discharged soilder because he was gay. He is now an activist to change the current policy, and law of DADT.
Apparently it is only a question of when this will be repealed in Congress. The next question is how quickly will the rescind be implemented? Some thing it should be done gradually; others think it should be done swiftly and in its entirety. This strategy would serve to deter any discrepancies regarding allowing gays to serve "openly" in the military.
Aj, you are never too old. IMO, it is our country's loss that they could not find a way to utilize your "older" brain in service to the USA. One of my brother's who is over 50 reinlisted and just finished serving a tour of duty in Iraq as a chaplain.
