Pentagon Leaders Back Repeal Of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
02.02.10 |
(Washington D.C.) -- Repealing the controversial Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy is the "right thing to do." The Pentagon's top uniformed officer, Admiral Michael Mullen, made that statement in a Senate hearing. The controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy prohibits gays and lesbians from openly serving in the U.S. armed forces. President Obama has asked the long-standing policy be repealed.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he has ordered a full review on how to best carry out a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Gates said he is determined to "get this right" and noted the exhaustive review could run for one year.
