Woo hoo! Admirals and Generals call for gays to be able to serve openly in military.

[Rabrrrrrr]

Unfortunately, they're only retired Admirals and Generals, but what the hell - it means they're also old school, so their word should have some weight. And it's a start!

More than 100 retired generals and admirals called Monday for repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays so they can serve openly, according to a statement obtained by The Associated Press.

The move by the military veterans confronts the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama with a thorny political and cultural issue that dogged former President Bill Clinton early in his administration.

"As is the case with Great Britain, Israel, and other nations that allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, our service members are professionals who are able to work together effectively despite differences in race, gender, religion, and sexuality," the officers wrote.

And check out the survey/poll at the bottom - 75%+ in favor of gays serving openly, and the huge amount of positive comments is very heartwarming!

1. They're terribly disaffected with military uniforms and housing, and want change.

"Queer Eye for the Straight G.I."?

3. Yeah, I saw that in LBN earlier.

Shameful that it's so exciting and new here... other countries have allowed this for years.

It's like Jon Stewart said... conservatives have been holding us back. We have a LOT of catching up to do.
