The GOP House will have to vote to approve a new UCMJ, one without the ban on sodomy and redefinition of adultery. These changes, of course, have been suggested before, mostly because <i>heterosexual</i> service members violate the rules all the time. But reality won't affect the spin. It never does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-5483669187290656812010-12-19T19:58:00.839-06:002010-12-19T19:58:00.839-06:00I was forced to approve of Joe Lieberman.
