Do you support "Don't ask...Don't tell"?

1. What is going to happen when some gay person sues the Military because of discrimination because they were given a dangerous job?...

2. Best thing I heard about this was yesterday..."You don't have to be straight to shoot straight".

    Main Question: No

    1. It won't succeed, and has been tried many times already.

    2. This isn't a question.

    Small Rant:

    Most Americans Support the Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" This Includes all sides of the aisle, including representatives. IF their were a bill to JUST repeal DADT, it would pass easily. The Problem arrives when representatives try and add on a bunch of BS Pork projects to the bill hoping to pass them using their back door political Maneuvering

    It becomes a "Pass my pork project,or else you hate gays" kind of thing, and people just aren't that stupid. If they really want to repeal DADT, than propose the Bill on its own merit, and Everyone will be happy to vote for it, it WILL get broad support from both sides of the aisle.

  • No. As for dangerous jobs, the US military is an all volunteer force, danger is a part of that job.

    Yes, I support DADT. Even us heteros are expected to keep our bedroom secrets just that...secret and private.

    1). good luck with suing the military. I'd like to see them try

    2) What's that got to do with anything? Military service is a privilege. People in the military are expected to conform, so shy should gays get "special" consideration?

    I support it, and the thing that pisses me off is all of those who oppose it would probably go to jail, before they go to war. Congress members that oppose it, have probably never been in the military, and have it designed that their children will never see the battlefield. If you a soldier, fighting for my rights, I wouldn't care what your orientation is.

    I support "Don't ask...Don't tell" for all troops gay and straight.

    Sexual preference should not be a factor in the military, and sexual conduct should be punished for gays and straights.
