Overturn of the Gay Ban, Fall of The Ask Dont Tell Policy

Overturn Of Gay Ban, Fall Of The Ask Don't Tell Policy



       Could the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)" policy really be over? Pentagon tends to believe that is now save to over turn the ban on gays/homosexuals on service members in the military and or marines. The policy prohibits people who "demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts" from serving as a member in the armed forces of America. It is said that their presence will cause forces to be un-unified, and stagger in to unacceptable "risks to good morale, and discipline".  According to a survey released today 115, 052 people believed that the repeal on the policy, would in fact "not" be a bad thing at all.  Many of those people who participated in the survey don't have a problem with gays or lesbians being open and serving in an armed force. But on the other hand several members of the marine force do. Between 40 and 60 percent of members of the marines claimed that the overturn of the ban would most definitely be a bad idea. James Connoway, former commander of the Marine Corps claimed that the repeal would "harm combat effectiveness and unit cohesion". He even added that separate quarters for homosexuals would be in best interest. Back in February, President Barack Obama stated that he would repeal the DADT policy in his State Of The Union Address. I honestly believe hat policy is somewhat un-constitutional because it does not give people equal rights. Why shouldn't open homosexuals be allowed to serve in armed forces? There is nothing wrong with people wanting to be who they are. I believe the ban is unfair, and should be repealed immediately. Only those who, on purpose, decided to break up the cohesion of the force should be asked to resign or removed. Simple as that.
