NPR today at 3PM had on Rear Admiral Robert Barrett (Ret) (?) who, along with 100 (former?) career military people of distinction paid for an Ad (where?) (I was driving and looking for an exit) saying that think the policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" should be History. Barrett's stated reasons are: 1. That too many good soldiers/sailors are leaving the military over this issue and it is too hard and costly to replace them. 2. Military people at all levels have "moved on" on this issue and it is non-issue for 75% of military personnel.
