Our US military has done well with the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. It discourages disruptive behavior such as open hand holding and other displays of affection. It asks homosexuals to conform to military discipline and avoid public statements on sex orientation issues. Those who are heterosexuals are not openly confronted by homosexual sex practices which they may find upsetting. Sexual restraint in the ranks and in barracks is mandated for all personnel. To change and let homosexuals start acting up on base or in the field would not add to military readiness. Sexual politics, and all politics should be kept to a minimum in our military.
Well said. Sexuality doesn’t affect morale if people keep it to themselves. DADT has worked fine and the people discharged have been discharged for disobeying regulations, nothing more.
