Barney Frank: “I must say, it is not that the young members of the military who face death, who face the destruction of their comrades…”

On the recordDecember 15, 2010
I must say, it is not that the young members of the military who face death, who face the destruction of their comrades, they are not the ones who are upset by this. It is our colleagues on the other side who are reputing their unease at the presence of gay and lesbian people to the young people in the military who I think are better than that.
