J. Buchanan<BR>A Democratic Congress, discharged by the voters on Nov. 2, has
now imposed its San Francisco values on the armed forces of the United States.
"Don't ask, don't tell" is to be repealed. Remarkable. The least respected of
American institutions, Congress, with an approval rating of 13 percent, is
imposing its cultural and moral values on the most respected of American
institutions, the U.S. military. It is being imposed from above by people, few
of whom have ever served or seen combat, as a political payoff, at the expense
of our military, to a militant minority inside the Democratic
Party.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
