The big news from Capital Hill is the vote to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell". President Obama is due to sign the bill into law next week. However, there's a sixty day waiting period for the military to make sure it "won't hurt combat troops fighting ability".
What's up with that? Do they think there will be a mass turn in of their combat boots for stylish pumps? I mean....Come on!
Seventeen years of this disgraceful policy is enough.
I worry more about those sanctimonious opponents, lead by John McCain, doing something underhanded, like getting some bought and paid for Federal Judge to file an injunction to stop it. That is way more worrisome than our combat troops being hurt by this law. Those stodgy Generals that still have problems with this are going to do anything they can to drag their feet and slow down the process of finally giving our troops the respect and rights they deserve.
Of course,.. it will take the some wind out of the backstabbers sails. You know them..... they're the ones that just look for a reason to get the rest of us in trouble. A way to make themselves look good by dumping on someone else. Maybe hoping they'll get a promotion out of it. They were in the military service, when I was there. They're in service today. Hell,...... they're all over the government today. They'll lose a bit of ammo when this goes through.
We all know that this is the right thing to do, but,... before you sigh and rest easy,........ don't count your chickens, yet. This still needs to hatch.
