Preparations for the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military are going better than expected, military leaders told Congress on Thursday.

Top officials from the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force testified before the House Armed Services Committee, and several said that training would be complete as early as June.

"I'm looking specifically for issues that might arise coming out of the training, and the reality is that we've not seen them," said Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps. "I've asked for feedback.... The clear majority of it is very positive."

This assessment represents a turnaround for several of the generals who vocally opposed the repeal when it was debated during last year's lame-duck congressional session.

I am sure John McCain's head is exploding, because the world did not end with DADT going away. Also, where are the Log Cabin Republicans? I guess they are too busy supporting John Boehner's defense of the DOMA.
