[Tx4obama]

WASHINGTON -- Although several military service chiefs expressed opposition to repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, President Obama has spoken to them since the measure passed, and they are all ready to move forward expeditiously on implementing and certifying the changes.

"The President called every single service chief separately, talked to them, and they are all about moving this forward very quickly," said a White House official who helped lead the president's DADT repeal effort. "They're soldiers; they understand this is the law of the land, and they're going to get this done. They went through a process that was beyond repute to show we can do this, and I think you'll see a very, very fast process."

In a press conference on Wednesday, Obama reiterated that point, saying they "all said that we are going to implement this smartly and swiftly, and they are confident that it will not have an effect on our military effectiveness."

1. Isn't the FRC a hate group?

Gramps should stay far away from them, lest he be accused of promoting hate crimes.

4. Quote from group who was against the repeal - hetero heal thyself

He says -

The conservative Family Research Council (FRC), which opposed repeal, announced that it will be working with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and others to "ensure that the Pentagon is monitoring the effect of this radical change on the men and women in harm's way. One way to do that is demanding specific measurables -- like tracking the sexual assaults, dips in recruitment and retention, combat distractions, and more. If there's the slightest disruption to the military's mission, you can bet that FRC will be on the Hill, demanding to revisit this repeal."

Where has he been the past 9 years as strapping strong men attacked and raped female service members, female contractors,and civilians? Women can't 'just' serve over there, they have to serve in fear. Women have to go everywhere with a buddy, they are not allowed anywhere on their own because of these attacks by men on women in the past. The ranting and raving about needing separate male and gay shower stalls is insane. Ignorant.
