Some thoughts on repealing DADT

Bill Clinton moved too fast to repeal the ban on gays serving in the military, and we ended up with Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Times have changed, and Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight references a poll from last summer which found 75% of Americans in favor of ending the restriction. There was also a study published in July that found that gays in uniform didn't impact a unit's ability to fight.

Still, Obama seems cautious, and probably with good reason. Some comments from The Daily Dish here.
