The American Legion is joining the chorus of criticism aimed at federal Judge Virginia Phillips, who not only struck down ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ but refused to stay her decision while the appeals process plays out. The Legion says its concern is not about the merits of the case but one judge deciding what’s best for the military. So how should this issue be decided? Will politics end up deciding this issue rather than what’s best for the military? How much should the opinions of active duty personnel matter in the Pentagon’s evaluation of the policy? We ask Craig Roberts of the American Legion.
