This is less about DADT — which should be repealed — than a leading military figure using a policy, which putatively discriminated against gays for operational reasons, to make hay for his personal beliefs. His unilateral, public preachments — contrary to military practice; a wise policy it seems, as Pace’s charge of immorality is so tinged with unconscious irony — are prejudicial against gays, and not just those in the military. Since he’s playing by his own rules, I think it’s right he gets roundly denounced.

Congress should change it. Speaker Pelosi unaware she can.
