Don't Ask Don't tell:
In the past decade and a half the United States Military has implemented the “don't ask don't tell” policy. To me that says we will not ask of your sexual preference and in return you do not tell of your sexual preference. Sounds a lot like common sense and something I think many people in society at large live their daily life I mean even if a homosexual is blatantly flamboyant many people do not make it their business until it (the flamboyant nature) interferes with what is the the social or personal norm or invades personal space . I am not homophobic nor do I hate homosexuals I do however hate the homosexual life style this is as a result of my scripture based view that homosexuality is a sin. Not only from a scripture view do I believe it is wrong I believe that homosexuality in society damages society as a whole but I will have to write a different post on that because I have started to ramble and have gotten from the issue of don't ask don't tell.

Needless to say I am against removing the “don't ask don't tell” policy from our military here are a few reasons why number One: Openly homosexual men or women will be subject to prejudice and mistreatment I am personally against that, as are (I am assuming) Representatives in D.C so why open the door to allow that sort of behavior to even begin to take effect?
Number Two: Openly homosexual men or women in our military mis-represent the American fighting spirit of our military this in its self can cause a divide within the military, Deny it all you want be we all know that a divide of this sort can only result in political and societal disaster furthermore not to mention the devastating effects of moral within our great military.
Number Three: The removal of don't ask don't tell can result in change of policy and of regulations of our military to be biased towards homosexuality. The current policy of don't ask don't tell, while not perfect is currently protecting both homosexuals and by protecting their privacy and personal decisions.
Protecting heterosexuals by not allow them to engage into any derogatory behaviors that may be very dangerous for both heterosexuals and homosexuals. At the end of all of this I begin to ask myself what role should the Federal Government play in Policy and Regulation in the military? Should some policies such as “Don't ask don't tell” and “Rules of engagement” be left to the Generals and Majors that know the battle on the field and in barracks?
