Obama’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, is maintaining the administration’s apparently official non-response to questions about DADT.
When pushed this weekend by This Week’s George Stephanopolous about the repeal of DADT, Mullen said, “The President has made his strategic intent very clear, that it’s his intent at some point in time to ask Congress to change the law.”
Well, how’s that for . . . meaningless?
SLDN’s Aubrey Sarvis isn’t feeling it either. On the Huffington Post, he writes:
Good intentions and warm handwritten notes from the President will not carry the day . . . Hundreds more service members will be discharged over the next few months unless Congress and the President, and, yes, the Pentagon act.
Good intentions are no substitute for the change our service members are counting on, especially those who might like to be relieved from a third or fourth or fifth tour in Iraq or Afghanistan. They really don’t care much if the person who relieves them is gay. Would you?
