New Defense Secretary Lets Down the Troops by “Certifying” Military LGBT Law

Late on Friday afternoon, July 22. President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen signed a piece of paper “certifying” that repeal of the 1993 law regarding gays in the military would do no harm to the armed forces.  The document has no credibility, but it will have harmful consequences.  Having pulled the trigger for final repeal 60 days later, on September 20, President Barack Obama will own the San Francisco/LGBT Military that he has created.  The Center for Military Readiness issued an immediate news release, which is posted here.
