Military told the House committee that plans to ban the don't ask don't tell policy are going better than planned. Military forces do not seem to be too concerned about the repeal. Gen. James Amos, the US Marine Corps commandant asked combat forces what their stance was on the repeal of the policy and the majority of the men were focused more on their enemy rather than the policy as opposed to his survey last year where 60% of the military forces expressed concerns. The same results were taken from the Army troops. There is still a long way to go. Chiarelli and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz expressed that it will take time for the training and preparations to implement the repeal. The policy can only be implemented if President Barack Obama, the defense secretary, and the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff feel that this will not deplete the power of our military. Once certified, it will take 60 days to be implemented. However, several leaders feel that the troops are not ready for this kind of change and need more time to figure out if this will have a negative impact on the military.
