The 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy of the U.S. military dictates that no homosexual or bisexual military officer can reveal details of their sexuality while serving. By that same policy, as long as military officers hide their sexual orientation their superior officers are not allowed to investigate it. This policy has caused some military officers to get discharged from their posts. Debating the don't ask, don't tell policy can often be emotional, but armed with the proper information you can effectively debate.
So what can i do?
 
the military is stretched so thin " they should drop the don't ask don't tell policy and allow gays to enlist.. hell when i was in I'd say 15% of the armed forces were homosexual.. and its probably more now.. You can't be too choosy in a all volunteer military along with a war going on
 
In any debate you first need to have a question posed so you can pick a side....

what is your question?

What is your side?
 
I dont know if that policy is the right policy but I do believe they need something in place. Personally, I dont like homosexuality but I dont mind it either. The fact that you have homosexuals in the military surrounded by myriads of the same sex will inherently cause problems, especially because most people are not homosexual.

Its a tough problem to solve...
