Knights Out is an organization of West Point Alumni, Staff and Faculty who are united in supporting the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender soldiers to openly serve their country.
Our members include former West Point professors, Rhodes Scholars, decorated combat veterans from the Vietnam War, Iraq and Afghanistan, peacekeepers who served in Haiti and Bosnia, men and women from the first co-ed class (1980), an ordained minister, and many others who are coming out from their silence to serve their country in a new way.
CNN reports that the Comprehensive Review Working Group on DADT Repeal has begun fielding a survey of the force to determine how best to implement repeal.

In addition to some positive comments from active duty servicemembers, the reporter casually brings up that President Obama is “set to name a new Marine Corps commandant in the coming weeks.” Among the service chiefs, Marine GEN Conway has been the most outspoken opponent of DADT repeal. Though it’s widely known he’s scheduled to retire in November, does this signal an earlier exit?
