6. Thanks for supplementing this with more info. I wish there had been

a transcript of some of the comments on the video, for those who cannot listen to videos sometimes.

Thanks for filling us in with the text story.

5. Sad, poignant, and infuriating....

They need to overturn DADT immediately. It's ridiculous. But again, the GOP is playing politics, and the Dems can't find their spines.

7. That was painful to watch

All of my fellow servicemembers who have to live their lives in shame and fear because of DADT. Not being able to talk to anyone about it...and the military wonders why there's been an increase in suicides :cry:
