Statement of Alexander Nicholson, Executive Director of Servicemembers United and a former Army Human Intelligence Collector who was discharged under 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' on today's testimony by the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the House Armed Services Committee hearing on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal:


"The Joint Chiefs have now made it abundantly clear to lawmakers that they are comfortable with this policy change and that they are satisfied with their respective services' preparations for this policy change. This should be the last waste of their time and taxpayers' resources to try to undo the inevitable. 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is going away, and we will have a stronger military and a stronger nation as a result.
