What’s your take on the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy for the military?

I think it’s long overdue that it should be abolished. It’s just plain discriminatory, pure and simple. And like all things discriminatory, there’s just no place for it in our society.

I believe in truth and honesty, but at the same time I don’t believe that that needs to be disclosed either. I think that a person’s personal sexual preference is a private matter that doesn’t need to be shared with other people.

I think it’s fine. It works better than what they had before. I thinks it’s nobody’s business, so don’t ask.

My take is if you’re qualified to do your job, it’s not a problem. You can fight for your country, you can protect your fellow soldier, your fellow marine, it’s fine.
