Its nice to see the SECDEF taking into considerations the feelings of the people who DADT affects and not a few militant gays and a bunch of "Feel Good Liberals" who it does not affect at all........

Gates to Congress: Hold off on DADT
Updated: 5/1/10 4:47 PM EDT.
“I strongly oppose any legislation that seeks to change this policy prior to the completion of this vital assessment process,” Gates said in a letter sent Friday to Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “I hope Congress will not do so, as it would send a very damaging message to our men and women in uniform that in essence their views, concerns and perspectives do not matter on an issue with such a direct impact and consequence for them and their families.”
