Obama can pick up the phone and say "end the policy". He is the Commander in Chief now folks.
Time to step up and actually keep one of his promises.
What do they want the President to do Yes i agree that gays should be treated the same as any body else but when it comes to marriage thats a whole different ball game. Then they really need JESUS!
I'm sorry but I honestly don't believe it would be a good idea to allow openly gay men to share living areas with non-gay men in a military setting. Anything that might distract troops from performing their duties cannot be allowed simply for the sake of giving into people of a minority sexual persuasion.
By the way, please don't think I'm homophobic. I am married but I am bi and I have had girlfriends. I also have a heterosexual brother in the army who should not be used for some social engineering purpose.
CNN has been covering really wierd news stories lately. They really are the Fox News of the left. Please cover all news–not just left wing propaganda.
And if CNN wants to continue to be a news source, start moderating the comments. Most seem to be by off-base liberal loons. American is made up of different opinions, instead of calling names, have some facts and present a logical arguement–too much to ask?
