According to the poll that was done in the military, there was most resistence in the Combat Arms in the Army and in the Marines. That doesn't surprise me in the least, since these are most testosterone driven elements. I'm well aware of all the arguments for and against, having lived through the DADT when it was intially implemented. A lot of people predicted a total failure then too, but I think time has shown that it can be implemented.

Gates and Admiral Mullin have both said that it would probably take a year of training and plans to get the latest legislation implemented. I don't think anyone thinks it will be totally painless. I'm not sure why it was necessary to push it at this point, because I believe in 10 years, everyone will wonder what the big deal was.

Alahusker, I'm not sure what to make of you. Do you really think you were on the same level as the Chief of Staff, Marine Corps? Quite a bit of time has passed since you were a wing commander in the AF. I think things have changed quite a bit since you were out there.
