Obama To Push Gay Agenda On The Military

As Obama weighs his options, a reason for him to pause is a Wall Street Journal survey. It found that the top issue motivating people to vote Republican, which returned control of Congress to the GOP in 1994, was Clinton's attempt to lift the military ban on homosexuality. There is certainly no public mandate for this social change.
If Barack Obama stays true to his campaign promises, the armed forces will likely lose hundreds of thousands of troops. When our troop numbers are already stretched thin, we don't need radical policies driving away more. Nevertheless, Obama appears poised to stubbornly buck centuries of military tradition by going against the will of the American people, as well as those in the military who will be affected by this change. If this happens, he is sure to have a full-blown enlistment crisis on his hands. At that point the only solution to the manpower crisis may be a return of the draft.
