An historic day for the Pentagon. Gays can officially be accepted at recruiting stations. The legal ban on openly gay service is a thing of the past as of today. The Pentagon says almost 100% of all military personnel have now undergone training about the new regulation. In preparation for questions about the new rule, the Pentagon says existing standards of personal conduct, such as those prohibiting public displays of affection, regardless of sexual orientation, will not change.
