Barack Obama: Commander in chief must support gay troops

[VKVM]

WASHINGTON: In a sharp rebuke of his Republican rivals, President Barack Obama said on Saturday that anyone who wants to be commander in chief must support the entire US military, including gay service members.

A combative Obama criticized Republican presidential candidates for staying silent when the crowd at a recent debate booed a gay soldier who asked a question of the contenders via videotape.

"You want to be commander in chief? Start with standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform," Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Council, the nation's largest gay rights organization.
