Does The “don’t ask don’t tell” Policy Really Need Removal?

Posted on Tuesday, Feb 02, 2010 by Rick Michaels in being only gay, being openly gay in the military, don’t ask don’t tell, don’t ask don’t tell history, don’t ask don’t tell opinion, don’t ask don’t tell policy, don’t ask don’t tell pros and cons, gay discrimination, gay rights, obama, obama on gay rights category


After Obama announced that he wants to eliminate the “don’t ask don’t tell” military policy which protects  gays that are in the United States military from being discriminated against, many people have been voicing their opinions about it. Obama wants to remove the policy so that gays can be openly gay while severing in the military. While most would agree that if you are given the right to fight and die for your country then you should also be given the right to be open about you’re sexual preference, removing the policy could present many unwanted problems in the U.S military. The main case would be causing straight soldiers to feel uncomfortable which could lead to many different negative things. I personally think the “don’t ask don’t tell” should stay in place and removing it wouldn’t bring good but only bad things to the army. Although we are living in a new age of time many people still do discriminate against gays and I think the "don't ask don't tell" helps protect gays and allowing them to be openly gay could cause problems in their life while serving in the military. Most Republicans in the senate are for the bill. Only time will tell whether the policy will stand or be removed.

For years, The gay rights movement has targeted the U.S military as a vehigle to legitimize the gay lifestyle.Gay activists has demanded "their right" to serve, yet their agenda could not be more trans[arent. It is not military they seek, it is an attempt to validate and gain recoginition of a lifestyle. whigh is distasteful to most Americans, that truly driver this movement.(Goddard)

I think that to receive the home loans from creditors you should have a firm reason. However, one time I've got a consolidation loan, because I wanted to buy a house.

You're saying that removing the policy will bring trouble to the US Military, how? There are many countries all over the world that allow homosexuals to be open about their sexual orientation and they conduct themselves just fine. Please do elaborate, if you can.

Well Kristen, sexual feelings is a strong emotion which always brings problems. Having Military women and men at the same location has created problems. I'm not knocking the idea of being open about your sex life I'm just asking why do it in the Military? Do you want a better Military or do you want to create more problems? That's the real question. If people being open about their sex lives is going to bring problems I say why do it, because problems it will bring and it won't make anything better. And if it's true about what your saying about those other countries then please provide me with reports documenting the problems they had pre-open to sex orientation vs with it. We don't need anymore problems than what we already have and from the things I've heard that goes on in the US Military concerning sex, it's bad enough now. That's my honest opinion. The world isn't getting any better it's getting worst and when we let ourselves get distracted by things like this it just worsens all the problems.

May I start by stating that this article was terribly written and very hard to read? Not only that, but the opinions and ideas presented were not backed by any solid facts or research. While I do appreciate the attempt to present both sides of the issue, the manner was ineffective and disappointing.

Sorry for the grammar errors I rushed this article and didn't have time to edit it. It has been edited and I believe I did tackle a "cons" point of view to the "don't ask don't tell" law although due to the many grammar errors you probably couldn't understand it. Sorry once again. I do stand by my opinion in keeping the policy which I think would keep the peace. Removing the policy would bring nothing but trouble to the US Military which wouldn't be good for anybody gay or straight.
