Recent news: DADT is not old news

.............

I am surprised that this political cartoon is still relevant. I thought DADT was old news.

After the failure of the DADT repeal in the Senate, the United States REMAINS one of the only countries that still has a discriminatory policy in its military. According to this site, the United States and Turkey are the only countries in NATO that do not allow gay servicemen/women to be military members. 

"Among the armies in the Western industrialized world, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the UK allow gays and lesbians to serve freely and openly"
