DADT is done

Mark your calendars, on December 18, 2010, the United States Congress amended the Uniform Code of Military Justice to allow for openly gay people to serve in the armed forces. Today should be celebrated as one of those days that we have formed a more perfect union. The final vote was 65-31 in favor of repeal.

Every military commander said that they could implement the repeal if it became law. This includes the Marine Commandant who is vehemently opposed to repeal. Why did they say this? Because they all believe in the professionalism of their soldiers. They follow orders. As of today, Don't ask/Don't tell is replaced by Don't care.

Every member of our armed services will soon be directly ordered not to give a damn whether anyone in their unit is gay or straight. How will they respond? They will respond as professional soldiers and not care.
