But still, wait until year 3 or 4. Is this really a big deal, or is some group (left or right) trying to bring this up?

AGREED AGREED AGREED. Also even if 'don't ask don't tell' is rescinded, the same basic policy will probably be in place forever. The military isn't especially inclined to bow to the whims of the democratic party regardless of the official policy. PS I don't care at ALL whether you're into men or women I just don't think it's as important as people make it out to be. I support gay marriage and I support gays in the military...I also have no problem with don't ask don't tell. That's basically my philosophy on life in general...unless one of us is trying to initiate sexual activity with the other, what difference does it make?
