sergeant first class who was discharged after being outed, if you will, and arby sarbas also served in the united states army and is now the executive director of the service members legal defense fund, a great organization that has been working to end don t ask, don t tell. this is a great day for america, i think. and what i find interesting is how little rebellion there is against this right, left, or center right now, stacy. aren t you amazed, after all these years of enforcing what was basically a clinton-era compromise, now people are willing to move on. i think the service members were ready. they were ready for this to happen. and today gay and lesbian and bisexual service members showed up for work. they were still the same doctors. they were still the samelingi lingui linguists, they were still the same people. has anybody made a statement i haven t heard any negative statements. well, just by people who had been closeted and said, i don t have to do that anymore.
