Gates: Only Passion Obama Ever Showed For Military Was Over ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

The good news is, the president chooses his battles.

The bad new? The battles he chooses.

The book written by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been making headlines for its portrayals of a president ambivalent about war strategy, but a Fox News review of “Duty: Memories of a Secretary at War,” has an even more disturbing angle.

The only time the President Obama showed he really cared about military issues wasn’t strictly related to national security or the safety of Americans serving in the hot spots of Afghanistan and Iraq, Gates wrote — it was while catering to his most progressive political base in the service of an ideological goal.

According to the Fox review, Gates wrote that “the only military matter, apart from leaks, about which I ever sensed deep passion on his part was ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ For him, changing the law seemed to be the inevitable next step in the civil rights movement.”

Makes sense with his reported closest orientation.

What's interesting is that after 248 years they now allow gays and women to serve openly (not equally becasue the standards for some are lower than for others) and are now complaining because of an increase in sexual assaults. No Rocket Scientist needed to figure that outcome ahead of time.

Obama likes having the Secret Service shower with him, he shows them what he learned from Jerry Sandusky when they used to shower together!
