Pentagon report, Nov. 30: When Service members talk about a unit member they believe to be gay or lesbian, their assessment of that individual was based on a complete picture and actual experience, including the Service member’s technical and tactical capabilities and other characteristics that contribute to his or her overall effectiveness as a member of the military and as a colleague.

By contrast, when asked about serving with the imagined gay Service member who is “open” about his or her sexual orientation …[s]tereotypes motivated many of the comments we heard.

-This is the pentagons actual report on what they came up with after talking to people and many news stations used the wrong numbers with the stats that they were reporting.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid quoted the late Sen. Barry Goldwater: "You don't have to be straight to shoot straight," he said.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia did not vote today, but he released a written statement saying he does not support the repeal. Manchin was the lone Democrat to vote against the measure last week, and he said today he remained concerned about the timing and impact of the repeal given that the nation is currently at war.

"While I believe the DADT policy will be repealed, and probably should be repealed in the near future, I cannot support a repeal of the policy at this time," he said.

Jackson's work

Last night I spent two hours researching victims of Don't Ask Don't Tell and put all of my information into a power point with pictures and quotes.

New team meeting

Today we met and formed our script so that we can do all of the filming and editing this weekend. We spent an hour and a half today. Also we forgot to mention that we had a group meeting last Thursday in the library that lasted two hours.
