my father is 90 years old and retired military.
Throughout the DADT debate he said he could not understand what all the fuss was about because there were homosexual men in the military when he was in the army in the 1940s.
He remembers clearly two guys who everybody knew were gay and they would often go off by themselves for periods of time.
They were good soldiers, they did their jobs and nobody bothered or harrassed them or sought to have them discharged.
Yesterday's senate vote was a long overdue victory for civil rights!
