Gays should be allowed to serve openly in the US military, the country's top commander has said.

Adm Mike Mullen told a Senate hearing into the ban on openly gay personnel that allowing them to serve was "the right thing to do".

He said there were practical difficulties in repealing the so-called "don't ask, don't tell" policy, but that the military could handle it.

That's a surprising statement coming from a military chief. But glad to hear it.
