I agree- our soldiers can handle their fellow soldiers being gay. You can't tell me they don't know, anyway. One of my coworkers is a vet, who served (and roomed) with a soldier who was gay. Nobody cared.
Making a big deal out of it does lead to increased danger to gay soldiers. If we just say "get over it" things will be calmer. Get it out in the open.
I do agree, though, that Mr. Obama needs to get on with repealing DADT. We are losing so many valued soldiers, in a military that needs every capable body it can get- we are shooting ourselves in the foot for no good purpose.
