That's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen talking about his personal beliefs about DADT repeal. I actually met ADM Mullen a few times in Iraq and watched him discuss some of the stuff we were doing in Sadr City. He's extremely intelligent and down to earth and to hear his words about DADT both make me very happy to have a CJCS that understands our plight, but misunderstands the way to tackle this issue IMO. He's right to say that there will be a lot of issues that come up with a full repeal of this policy that need to be addressed. Huge issues about personnel, housing, POSH, EO, et all. However the right thing to do here is to issue a moratorium on discharges under DADT while the policy is being reviewed and implemented. All that we are asking for is the ability to love someone and not have to look over our shoulder when we're not at work. I really don't think that's too much to ask.
