Don't Ask, Don't Speak

As an outside agitator ("Give Guns to The Queers!") we're interested in stirring up trouble. Nothing better for that than facts.
"As is the case with Great Britain, Israel, and other nations that allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, our service members are professionals who are able to work together effectively despite differences in race, gender, religion, and sexuality," the officers wrote. [...] Retired Adm. Charles Larson, a four-star admiral and two-time superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy who signed the statement with 104 other retired admirals and generals, said in an interview that he believed Clinton's approach was flawed because he rushed to change military culture. [...] The list of 104 former officers who signed the statement appears to signal growing support for resolving the status of gays in the military. Last year, 28 former generals and admirals signed a similar statement.
Progress is inevitable; it just takes two eternities & feels like one's teeth are being pulled most of the time.
