DADT

So it is now law, Don't ask, Don't tell. I have no opinion one way or the other regarding this ruling because I thank ALL who wish to serve this great country, regardless of your sexual orientation. What I don't understand is, if it is "don't ask don't tell" who is breaking the law by asking and telling? And shouldn't those who are breaking the law then be prosecuted? If you are gay and you serve or wish to serve, My hat is off to you. Thank you and Godspeed. But serve with honor and serve with destinction. The law say "don't ask(which means do not ask if some is gay) and don't tell"(which means that if someone does ask if you are gay, do not tell them) It seems quite simple to this feeble mind. I am not a supporter of gay rights and I would fight right alongside every gay serviceman to defend this nation. It's don't ask don't tell, so do your job and do it in the service of this country. And don't break the law. Instead of don't asks don't tell we should rename the law"Shutup and serve" because really, most people do not care if you are gay or not. What most people object to is that it must be made a focus of everything. That's when you lose me. So shut up and serve! And I mean that with the utmost of respect.
