Is Dick Cheney right? Should gay military ban be lifted?
Fighting with Vice President Joe Biden was only one of thing things Dick Cheney did during his “This Week” interview Sunday, Feb. 14, with ABC’s Jonathan Karl.
The former vice president also said he thought the military’s controversial “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy will and should end.
“I think society has moved on,” Cheney said when asked if the policy that prevents gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military should be scrapped.
The father of an openly gay daughter said he thought the issue was a “generational question.”
“Twenty years ago the military was a strong advocate of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell when I was the Secretary of Defense. I think things have changed significantly since then, he said. “My guess is the that the policy will be changed.”
