Tomorrow, Friday, June 22nd, is the expected day that the Pentagon, specifically Leon Panetta, will announce and certify that gays may serve openly in the armed services.
The decision is not unexpected. The Pentagon has conducted months of internal studies and training to gauge how troops would react to the change triggered by a law passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in December.
President is fully expected to support it, which means that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell will be a thing of the past by the end of September (implementation takes 60 days after certification).
