Dodd Calls for a “Complete Repeal” of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

In this recent campaign video, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) reacts to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace’s remarks last week that homosexuality is immoral and his opposition to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

“At a time when we need to be recruiting some good, talented people,” Dodd said, “At a time of war…the idea that we’d exclude a whole bunch of people that may otherwise qualify based on sexual orientation I think is wrong.”
