We have worldwide terrorism, $4 and going higher gas, and a very shaky economy, but somehow don’t ask, don’t tell is a major priority.
“We have worldwide terrorism, $4 and going higher gas, and a very shaky economy, but somehow don’t ask, don’t tell is a major priority.”
“don’t ask don’t tell” is working because the gays still can’t flaunt it. Serving openly is something completely different. I remember when don’t ask don’t tell was made policy and I said then that it won’t be enough for the gay activists. That it was only a matter of time before they’d want to be completely out in the open and accepted in the military. They won’t be happy until they are living in base housing units with their adopted children and going to squadron functions holding hands. In which case the traditional, heterosexuals will leave the military en masse and not join in the first place.
We need the best military we can possibly achieve. It is a critical issue, more important than the price of gas.
