We’re confident that all those selected for promotion fully support the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the JCS, including their call for repeal of DADT.
If by chance you know anyone who publicly opposes repeal, let us know, so we can engage them in a dialogue about it. Contact Sue Fulton.

The DoD has gone live with a website requesting feedback on the repeal of DADT. Only CAC cardholders can respond, so if you can, please speak for the rest of us!
A full article is here: http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=59042
The website to post your comments is here: http://www.defense.gov/dadt
As Knights Out has said repeatedly, the DADT policy is bad for our military:
Expelling gay and lesbian soldiers compromises military readiness. These are soldiers we need to win our wars.
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” compromises unit cohesion. Forcing soldiers to lie about who they are, and who their families are, tears down trust, and erodes the bonds that make military units strong.
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is dishonorable. Integrity and honor are, and should be, central to our military code. The “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy forces soldiers to choose between their honor and their military duty.
