Don't ask, don't tell



It would be about time to lift this ban. Someone coming out as "gay" would minimize cohesion. Firstly, wasn't this said of black people, women and all other "different" people out there?

But what I find even more outrageous is the way in which this leaves people no choice to slip through the either/or: you are either gay or you are not. What if you are something else? Then, can you serve? That shows the absurdity of such a policy and way of thinking and conceiving the world.

And of course, when there is a war, and more men are needed to kill and be killed, then the sexuality issue can be overlooked... it all makes sense.
