We were pleasantly surprised 鈥� indeed, delighted 鈥� to have seen that none other than Bill O'Reilly came out in support of ending the counterproductive and discriminatory policy known as 鈥淒on鈥檛 Ask, Don鈥檛 Tell鈥� (DADT) .

Speaking to host Jay Leno, O鈥橰eilly said, 鈥淚t's just not fair, they should stop this nonsense.鈥�

On this point, we could not agree with O鈥橰eilly more strongly. DADT has cost nearly 14,000 committed men and women in the armed forces their military careers. President Obama鈥檚 administration and Congress have taken very positive steps toward the goal of finally ending this senseless discrimination once and for all, and it is critically important that they complete that work by passing a repeal of the policy this year.

We hope that Bill O鈥橰eilly鈥檚 opposition to DADT serves to make the point that embracing open (and honest) service for all those in this country willing to risk their lives serving in the military is not a right vs. left, conservative vs. liberal issue: it鈥檚 a matter of simple fairness and equality.
