Gates: Not Asking Soldiers About DADT Would be the ‘Stupid Way to Do Change’

Oh Defense Sec. Robert Gates, you’re adorable! Talking about your “smart” and “stupid way to do change.” Like asking service personnel about whether repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell makes them feel bad or sad, or thinking about the things that they never had. Please rewind 62 years and see if the then-president asked around to see if white soldiers were okay with integrating their units with blacks, or vice versa.

Funny, because this is the most asking the military has done about DADT — and the stupidest way to go about it.
