The topic of gays in the military is a very controversial issue presently. As we all know, North Korea just obtained a nuclear weapon, which, if the situation is not handled carefully, could seriously backfire. Just like the issue of gays in the military. Obama is probably very concerned with his public approval ratings, and he is probably already thinking about being re-elected. He doesn't want to lift the ban on gays in the military if it means that he will be disliked, but also, he doesn't want to keep the ban because there are many individuals out there who want to join the military and be openly gay. Whatever Obama decides, this "nuclear issue" has the potential to backfire. I just really like how Nick Anderson shows how big of an issue gays in the military really is.
