That’s the way I see it but it looks like some of our Reps want to listen to the 3% minority.

Actually, "don't ask, don't tell" is bullshit regardless of of the size of the minority. Because it creates a special class with different rules instead of "justice for all". If you allow for such nonsense you open the door to other bullshit like hate crime legislation, all of which depends on putting people into categories instead of looking at their behavior.

The official policy should be "don't care, now do your job". The code of conduct already says what's appropriate between male and female soldiers, so why shouldn't it be enough to protect heterosexual male soldiers from homosexual advances?

The code of conduct already prevents soldiers from using the army as a dating service, the only difference would be that if it came out that someone has a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend at home, he'd continue serving as if nothing had happened.

If a nation is to be build on principles, the principle should be to judge a man by what kind of job he does.
