Whether you are for it, against it, or indifferent (much like your humble narrator) to the change we are facing, 20 September 2011 marks an end to the ban on sexual orientation being a disqualifying factor in military service.

It should be marked as a time of progress and understanding of the changing times, much as the ban on African Americans and women being able to wear the uniform. Neither of these events have caused great calamity to befall the United States Military and allowing Homosexuals to serve will no doubt have little to no real affect on daily life throughout the DoD.


So I ask: Opinions? Thoughts? Concerns? Does anyone expect a drastic change to THEIR military life come the end of September? Or are most of those directly impacted by the changes still waiting on DOMA to go away so they can get spousal benefits for their same sex partner?
