Marines Commandant has seen no problems regarding repeal of DADT


Almost a year after the repeal of DADT, the Commandant of the Marine Corps says that he's not heard of any problems related to the integration of openly gay and lesbian military.

From the Washington Blade:
“I don’t think there is a problem,” said Commandant Gen. James Amos during a National Press Club luncheon in downtown Washington. “I don’t see it. I don’t hear about it.” [snip] “We obey orders,” said Amos. “We do that better than anybody does and we have.” He again noted that he doesn’t “even get a question” about openly gay and lesbian servicemembers from subordinates and other Marines. “I don’t hear anything,” said Amos. “I’m not seeing anything at all, so I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out. I’m very proud of the Marines."
You may remember that General Amos had been one of the most vocal opponents of the repeal of DADT.
