The Pentagon’s top leaders warned Sunday that if Congress fails to repeal the ban on gays serving openly in the military, the courts may order changes that military leaders consider too fast or poorly thought-out.
The Pentagon is trying to make it easier for the Senate to consider lifting the ban in the current postelection session. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday he will release a study of the effects of repeal Nov. 30, a day earlier than planned. That could allow the Senate Armed Services Committee to hold hearings on the ban the same week.
