The Senate Armed Services Committee is currently holding a hearing into the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, questioning Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mike Mullen, and the authors of a Pentagon report on DADT that concludes a repeal would not be harmful to the military. A good live feed is available at MSNBC here.

I have a problem with DADT policy. Why are we trying to change the greatest military in the world. We hav rules in place and they want to change them. Is it because of the political correctness? I served in the u. s. navy from 1966--1970 and went to vietnam with the marines from may 1967 to may 1968. I believe that there should be a poll of the active duty men and women to see what there response would be. Then if they chose to accept them there should be a trial period, to see if this change is conducive to the military preparedness. If it is fine but it should not be implemented without the approval of the military men and women. thank you
