dont ask dont tell

I was a little confused about don't ask, don't tell when we started talking about it, but reading this article put it all in perspective for me. They asked a lot of good questions why  they shouldnt repeal and it did all make sense, however, i do not agree with the policy. It just discriminates against another type of people for no reason. I understand that there are reasons why it would be harder for gay people to enter the military, but i feel if it is a person who feels strongly about wanting to be a part of te military and help protect our country that should be all that matters. This person wants to put themselves on the line in order to help their country, it should not matter what their sexual orientation is just as it does not matter their racial orientation. I do know that it will be hard at first and things will be weird, but thats just how life is with change but we get use to it and we cant ever get use to this idea if we dont accept it and start it.
