Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Fight?

From SistersTalk:

All this talk of a draft is making people a bit nervous. But, the military seems to be doing what it can to avoid that. One of the things the military is doing is ignoring Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) with homosexuals deployed in Iraq. Less than one-quarter of all those homosexual soldiers and sailors discharged under DADT are from units deployed in Iraq, while the military discharged 653 homosexuals in critical specialties in 2004.

This makes me wonder if the government would use gay and lesbian soldiers to fight a war, kick them out once the war is over, then deny them full benefits as veterans. Why, I do believe our government would do that.

Smell that cool fresh scent of equality. Breathe deep, but try not to choke on it.
