U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal:
"With three of the four military service chiefs expressing clear reservations over the proposed repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, today's vote shows blatant disregard for the opinions of those who know our military best. With our troops engaged in combat overseas, now is not the time to increase the level of stress on our Armed Forces through such a dramatic policy change. It is a disgrace that this latest item from the liberal legislative wish-list is being jammed through at the expense of military readiness."
