Alabama is MIA...

Alabama Capitol Building, 2013
....though supporters of same-sex marriage will cheer it.

      Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke before The Anti-Defamation League last night and blasted the states that are refusing to fill out paperwork in local National Guard offices to allow same-sex couples to obtain spousal benefits.  They're sending the couples to federal posts, sometimes many hundreds of miles away, instead.
The state of Texas, followed by Indiana, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and West Virginia have all declined to issue the cards to National Guard troops, citing potential conflicts between these new federal policies and state laws at home.
                                                                       from a US News & World Report story.


    Somehow Red State Alabama is issuing the cards, following the Pentagon regulations.
