Overturn Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Here's a quote by Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

“I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens,” Mullen said during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on dropping the archaic “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. “For me personally, it comes down to integrity — theirs as individuals and ours as an institution.”
Bravo! So now when is Obama going to do the right thing? The thing he said he would do when he was campaigning for the gay vote and get rid of this ridiculous policy? As Mullen says, "it comes down to integrity."
