What Is My Take On "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Comic from Michael Ramirez

My Comment: I am somewhat ambivalent on the issue. I have some friends who are gay .... and I am never consciously aware of their sexual orientation unless it is brought up by someone else. I hve never served in the military, so I am not the one to judge on what impact it will have on the services.

The best (brief) comment that I have heard on this issue is from Prairie Pundit, and I have reproduced it in its entirety below.

Michael Ramirez looks at the focus on Gays in the military. I think it is an overblown issue. I also think Adm. Mullins was wrong to say the Don't ask, Don't tell policy forced anyone to lie about themselves. The fact is that gays are a rather small minority to begin with, and a small minority of gays wish to be in the military, and the current policy permits that service. How many of those who do serve want to be singled out for their sexuality?
