Amos delivers message to Corps on DADT
Published: January 29, 2011
A little over a month after saying that repealing "don't ask, don't tell" would be a distraction and put lives at risk on the battlefield, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos released a video message assuring Marines that he would personally oversee implementation of that repeal within the Corps.
In the video posted Friday, Amos and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Carlton Kent stressed professionalism as the process plays out.
"As we implement repeal, I want leaders at all levels to emphasize the importance of maintaining dignity and respect for one another throughout our force," Amos said. "We are Marines. We care for one another and respect the rights of all who wear this uniform."
