Just breaking from the Washington Post,

“Obama will call for a repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy during Wednesday night’s State of the Union address, White House officials said Wednesday afternoon.”

“The policy forbids openly gay and lesbian people from serving in the military, and requires their discharge should they tell fellow servicemembers about their sexuality.”

“The White House has faced pressure since early last year from liberal and gay rights groups to end “don’t ask, don’t tell.” A growing chorus of people across the political spectrum and several retired military leaders have also called for a repeal.”

Does anybody bother to ask the guys and girls serving in the trenches?
