The Pentagon is ready to cancel the restrictions on the service of homosexuals in the Armed Forces

The US Department of Defense is preparing for the US Congress Senate will decide on the abolition of the restrictive in relation to homosexuals of the Donat Ask Donat Tell law, the US Armed Forces said.

The essence of the law of Don 'Ask Don' ("Don’t ask, do not say") is that homosexuals and lesbians are allowed to serve in the US Armed Forces, but at the same time they are forbidden to disclose their sexual orientation, and the military command to ask questions about it. The need to cancel the law of US President Barack Obama more than once.

The Senate is expected to hold the final vote under the Don 'Donk Don' cancellation bill on Saturday. “The Ministry is preparing instructions informing all employees about changes,” the statement of the representative of the Pentagon Dave Lapan is given in the message.

He said that the instruction will be presented in the form of a certificate from the Deputy Minister of Defense on personnel and combat readiness of Clifford Stanley. The document will give information about the essence of the changes and the approximate periods of the implementation of the law.

The bill, which has already received the approval of the House of Representatives, states that the abolition of restrictions on the service of homosexuals in the Armed Forces is possible only after confirming the readiness of the armed forces for innovations. The president, Minister of Defense and the head of the United Committee of the Chiefs of Staffs of the US Armed Forces will have to be confirmed. After confirmation, 60 days should pass before people with non -traditional sexual orientation will be able to openly serve in the troops.

If the Senate for one reason or another does not vote under the bill before Christmas, then the new composition of the Senate, which starts work in early January, will have to consider the issue of the service of homosexuals in the army. Meanwhile, the next court hearings in the case of canceling restrictions will be held in the spring. The court may decide on the immediate abolition of Don 'Donk Donat Tell, which, according to the US administration, is fraught with great troubles for the Armed Forces. In this regard, President Barack Obama and Minister of Defense Robert Gates repeatedly called on the senators not to pull with the consideration of the issue.

In early February, the head of the Pentagon instructed the Pentagon General Lead to the Pentagon Jay Johnson and the commander of the US Ground Forces in Europe, General Carter Ham, to study how to cancel the law and what the consequences of the cancellation will be. He took for almost a year to study. Recently, the report was published.

Its authors, having analyzed the possible consequences of the cancellation of the Donat Ask Don 'Tell, came to the conclusion that open homosexuals and lesbians can safely serve in the army, subject to active educational activities from the military command and introducing additional changes to existing legislation and military rules, RIA Novosti reports.
