Letter: ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ must be cut
2010-03-02
‘Don’t ask, don?t tell? is basically against the American political ideals of honesty and transparency, by asking someone who devotes their life to serving our country to lie about who they are from the day they begin to serve. Not only is it morally wrong to force a soldier to lie, but it is detrimental to the armed forces to limit who can serve to people who fit the extraordinarily limited ?traditional? definition of who should serve be allowed in the military.
