DADT: Media Needs to Clarify the Reality

Chiefs warn against lifting gay ban too quickly - Yahoo! News

Top Army and Air Force officers said Tuesday they would be reluctant to overturn a 17-year policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military without more time to ascertain it won't hurt the services.


OK, the policy about gays in the military goes far beyond 17 years. Before that policy, gays weren't allowed to serve at all. So the "17-year policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military" was previously a "policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military". But no one ever talks about the change under Clinton.
