That's good news! Bah, don't ask don't tell wasn't even the original plan concerning gays in the military. As a campaign promise, Bill Clinton promised to fight the ban on any homosexuals at all, and surprisingly, it was one of the first things he did in office in 1993. But, they wouldn't back down =/ Gotta admit, I've always thought Bill Clinton was kind of cool despite the whole perjury thing. It's so horrible though, eighteen years of service and they try to dismiss her?! It's terrible that this sort of thing happens on a regular basis.
The fact that the military would rather engage in a witch-hunt on gays than keep Middle-Eastern language specialists and other specialists in short and needed supply really shows how irrationally fucked up their priorities are. Here's hoping this ruling makes some waves.
