Why DA/DT Must Go

"A colleague of mine relayed a story of a soldier whose boyfriend was killed by a roadside blast while both were deployed. The only person the grieving soldier could safely talk to was an Australian officer he didn’t even know. His most trusted teammates — members of his unit — were not allowed to be there for him when he needed them most."

--Jonathan Hopkins, former Army Captain, writing in The Washington Post

Harry Reid has promised a vote on DA/DT repeal next week.  It won't be easy to get the 60 votes necessary to over come a fillibuster.
