Senator Begich on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal: "It’s Time"

Submitted by on Monday, 22 March 2010 – 3:34 PMNo Comment
Asked if he would support a repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, Sen. Begich replied “It’s done its time, it’s time to move on and change the policy.”
“When you look at the militaries of Canada, Great Britain and Australia, they don’t have any policy like this, and we’re serving arm in arm with them right on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it has not caused any disruption of how we perform our duties. It’s done its time, it’s time to move on.”
Please thank Senator Begich for his support!
