The Defense Department Kindly Requests Eternity to ‘Ease’ DADT

“That process is still ongoing. There was not a definite timeline put on that request.” That’s Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith, who says that while President Obama is all “let’s get rid of DADT,” his request to Defense Sec. Robert Gates to get a move on was actually an invitation for his department to drag its in TPS reports. And no, they aren’t moving any faster on that “humane” way of applying the law, which would exempt forcibly outed soldiers from dismissals. Like this guy.
