The Military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy
I believe that the Repeal or Retention of the "Don't
Ask, Don't Tell" policy should not be up to the members of Congress, or
to The President. The policy should be left in the hands of those who it affects in a direct manner: Members of our military,
I believe that there should be a vote among Active
members of the Armed Services - made by anonymous, secret ballot.
The results of that referendum of the Troops shall be the final
word regarding the DADT policy. This can be revisited and
repeated - much like the Census - on a 10 year basis.
Congress affects enough of the lives of our Troops
as it is, these men & women deserve a voice in what some
call the "Moral Circumstances" of their environment.
