And the majority response was "yeah, whatever, I don't care".
I'm having "fun" downvoting comments (what IS it with yahoo news?) but I had to share this one:
It is not the right time to overturn DADT. It is irrelevant that our troops are ready to accept open gays in the ranks. They don't get a say anyway, just like they didn't with minority troops or women. It will, however, merely harden fundamentalist religious resistance and help them recruit more people to fight the Great Satan. Get out of Wahabistan, then do it.
1. Oh, it's never "the right time" to do the right thing, is it?
2. However - LOL! Al Qaeda et al. don't care about whether or not we allow gays in our military. How unbelievably self-centered can you get? They don't care about our freedoms or any of that nonsense. Nobody kills and dies because in some other country, there are a few gay folks.

Of course, that's just my theory.
Nobody kills and dies because in some other country, there are a few gay folks.
Particularly since the gay folks are there anyway, independent of whether they're allowed in the military or not. *facepalms*
