Don't Ask, Don't Tell

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Got a letter in the mail from a veterans group I haven't ever heard of talking about voting for the GOP to reinstate Don't ask Don't Tell....this is a LOSING ISSUE!!!!!!

As a veteran, I can tell you that I suscribe to the policy of "you don't have to be straight to shoot straight." Statisics say there were probably gays with me in Vietnam and you know what- if that's true, I'm still here. They had my back.  As long as a service member is professional and does his job, who cares if he wants it in the rear.

More importantly- this is a LOSING ISSUE. My party is on the wrong side of history, just like when there were opponents of integrated black and white units.  Gays will serve in the military, we shouldn't make it a sticking point to try to stop it. Especially when Mr. Five-DeferMITT was such a big advocate of gay rights when he ran against Teddy Kennedy!
