Lawmakers to press military on fate of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

Lawmakers to press military on fate of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ Lawmakers this week will press the military’s top uniformed officers for the first time on whether they think repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” makes sense or would be too disruptive.
