    Default News Flash! D.A.D.T

    A US federal court has ruled that openly gay and lesbian men and women can join the American military.

    A Californian judge, Virginia Phillips, has ruled that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell law implemented under President Clinton in 1993 was unconstitutional.

    Are we there yet?

    With an opportunity of seeing the world, who could resist, a lot of Americans don't get such an opportunity....

    You might as well get shot abroad more than at home. Good knews though about the DADT. If gays and lesbians want to be involved thats their choice

    I dunno, I'd rather not see the world and not put my life in jepardy than see the world and run the risk of being blown up by some random road mine.

    The outcome is far from certain. The administration is appealing the decision. But, importantly, the judge has not delayed the effect of the ruling pending appeal. So it is in force, at least for now.

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
