In response to The Record's recent editorial, It states there is soon to be an end to the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) policy. Homosexuals should have the right to do whatever they so choose because they are people too. By removing this policy, this gives homosexuals the right to say what they want and be free while in the army or military, and not have to keep it such a secret that it can lose you a position in the military. This is the right thing to do and it will be a big step that will give possibly more people to the millitary, as they now can accept more homosexuals into their army. Furthermore, homosexual people are not attracted to every single person they see, they have limits and taking them out of the army just because they are gay is severley unconstitutional.
In a Washington Post article, Christian Berle states, "No longer will our military be compelled to discharge service members with valuable skills and experience because of an archaic policy mandating irrational discrimination." I support this one hundred percent because the military cannot afford to discharge such valuble members just because they are attracted to men rather than women.
A reasoning to some that support the DADT policy is that they say a homosexual man is attracted to another man, then he will save him over a person that he is not attracted to. With the training a military member obtains, this should not be the case because all members are trained equally. Even so, the military should not discriminate gays only. If two bestfriends are stationed in the same area they will rather save each other than another member of their station, in that case the military should ban best friends too, but that does not happen.
I disagree one-hundred percent with the DADT policy and it should be lifted immediatly.
