Lt. Col. Fehrenbach: How is DADT working?
February 3, 2010
As I heard Senator John McCain and others repeat the claim yesterday that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is working”, I couldn’t help but wonder how in the world they could come to that conclusion.
Fortunately for me, Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach had the same question, which he asked on The Rachel Maddow Show last night.

Also from The Rachel Maddow Show, Senator McCain is a big ole hypocrite when it comes to DADT. (He’s a hypocrite in a lot of other ways, but let’s stay on task.)

Finally, here’s a tweet from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen. I cannot overstate the importance of his support yesterday. Neither can I overstate my appreciation for it.
