WASHINGTON, DC – GOP presidential hopeful Texas Governor Rick Perry suggested to ABC News that he would reinstate “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Perry made his statement to ABC’s Christine Amanpour and said he promised to speak to military commanders about the policy if he’ s elected pre

sident.

“I think ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ worked very well,” Perry responded, ignoring the thousands of service members dismissed from the military because of their sexual orientation. “I think the President of the United States changing a policy that was working well and to do it while we were at war in two different theaters, I think was irresponsible and I think he truly did it to respond to his political base,” Perry said.
