(Some) Milbloggers call for repeal of disputed "Don't Ask Don't Tell"

In news released today by a number of web sites, several military bloggers released a joint statement calling for the repeal of the disputed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Daily Caller, Politico, and other news organizations are covering the story. Here’s an excerpt from Daily Caller:

A group of military bloggers, many of them retired service members, have released a joint statement calling for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, according to a statement on the military blog Blackfive.

“We consider the US military the greatest institution for good that has ever existed. No other organization has freed more people from oppression, done more humanitarian work or rescued more from natural disasters. We want that to continue,” reads the statement. “The US Military is professional and ready to adapt to the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell without compromising its mission. Echoing Sec. Def. Gates and ADM Mullen, we welcome open and honorable service, regardless of sexual orientation.”
