I don't care. They should be able to serve just like in any other European or Canadian foreign military member in any role.
But I worry about the chances of another 1994 election cycle happening in November. If this is all Obama was able to pass is this from his campaign promises... well it won't be good. And I remember the criticisms of Clinton having never served and passing the don't ask, don't tell policy in 1993. I'm sure it won't be any better this time around. Should it be repealed, sure, but at what political cost? There are people who won't like it and they will be voting in large numbers in November.

A 2006 Zogby International poll of military members found that 26% were in favor of gays and lesbians serving in the military, 37% opposed gays and lesbians serving, and 37% expressed no preference or were unsure.

If you have most of the military and former military members campaigning for the other guy, it doesn't bode well usually.
