Don't Ask Don't Tell

            During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama advocated repeal of the policy to allow gay and lesbian people to serve openly in the armed forces, agreeing with General Shalikashvili and stating that the U.S. government has spent millions of dollars replacing troops expelled from the military, including language experts fluent in Arabic.

           The military has a strict policy about being openly gay. According to wikipedia.com, Don't ask, don't tell is the common term for the policy about homosexuality in the U.S. military mandated by federal law, the policy prohibits anyone who "demonstrate(s) a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts" from serving in the armed forces of the United States, because "it would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability."

          This is place that says, Be all that you can be. I guess you can be everyting except yourself. You go to the military to serve your country nothing else, but you do have a personal outside the military, so why can't you date whoever you want openly. From my understanding if you get caught, you are discharged. Why should the military care who want to sleep with at night, just like its no one else's business. Am I right??
