[Vision2020] Ex-Generals, Admirals: Repeal Policy on Gays

[Donovan Arnold]

Lifting the ban will still not allow soldiers to be out because they will still get their ass beat by other soldiers. That is just the reality. But I do think Obama will lift the official ban sometime during his administration. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Dan -- you ask: Does it matter?
yes, it does.
we will never know about their sexual orientation, but I think it is safe to 
assume that many were gay and were drafted or volunteered to serve....and 
died.
While, yes they were all Americans, some were gay and thus have found their 
rights diminished and their lives threatened as Americans.
Of course honor them.
And honor them by correcting that ancient wrong.
