Obama wants to end "Don't ask, don't tell"

[imperception]

You'd be very suprised. Two of the guys in my basic training flight were openly gay, did anyone care? No, there were more pressing issues going on..

Don't ask don't tell is a stupid compromise and should be ended. I serve with many that everyone knows is gay but nobody gives a damn. At the end of the day as long as you do your job that is all that matters.

see, thinking cap on. nice job mate.

Quite frankly, heterosexuals don't feel the need to wear their orientation on their sleeves like a badge of honor. Conversely, I don't understand why gays feel it is necessary to advertise their sexuality.

I have been told the reason why the blatant show is because they are apparently tired of being in hiding or being ridiculed for their choices by heterosexuals. Now, is the question "is it right" or is the question "is this socially acceptable to mainstream society"?

Do I think it's right for them to wear badges and rainbows, mate, I don't care what they do, but it seems a bit ridiculous to me. Now, as for acceptable to mainstream society...well, not so far, but it seems to be tolerated. I think if we wore some type of hetero badge we would be laughed off mate. I don't get it either.

Again, who cares?
