Dont ask dont tell repeal: dont ask dont tell policy may be reversed with Mullen support on Gay

Washington: Dont ask dont tell repeal: dont ask dont tell policy may be reversed with Mullen support on Gay. Being a support for Obama administration that looks for to remove the ban over open gay sex among military troops,  top uniformed officer of the nation, Adm. Mike Mullen said that he personally believed in the lifting of  "don't ask, don't tell" law, which requires gays in the army to be secret. 

Adm. Mullen told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he wanted removal of the restriction over open gay sex in army in a manner that makes no harm on military morale, recruitment and readiness.  With this comment, Adm. Mullen became first top-ranked military officer who talked in support open gay sex. His predecessor Marine Gen. Peter  Pace called homosexuality as "immoral". 

Obama's efforts to ease the restriction was largely criticized on Capitol Hill, especially by Republicans. Democrats from conservative states were also against the move to repeal the ban. Republican leaders like John McCain are strong criticizers of Obama's fond to remove the ban. Many other army officials are also not interested in easing the restriction on gay sex.  

Meanwhile, Robert Gates, Defense Secretary reiterated that Pentagon will take all the measures to lift the ban over open gay sex in the military. 

The beginning of a debate to allow open homosexuality in the military dates back to almost twenty years in 1993. That year, the then President Bill Clinton took some initiatives to lift the ban, which described "incompatible with military service." The move was but then lobbied and defeated by the members of Joint Chiefs of Staff.
