He's eligible.
He's an improvement over Gates.
He's a Democrat.
He doesn't carry the taint of a Bush appointee and the subsequent policies that he put in place.
Just one more reason I am disappointed in Obama's follow through at the halfway point.
"I believe that the military needs to rethink the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. It does not serve this country to discriminate against people who want to serve in our armed forces. I would ask the military to craft and implement a policy that ensures that everyone who wants to serve their country is permitted to do so with honor and dignity." - Wes Clark
