Should the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Policy be Repealed?

President Barack Obama spoke at a Human Rights gala dinner on Saturday October 10, 2009. Obama renewed his committment to address issues that the gay mafia have been pushing for such as the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that was passed by Congress in 1993. Should the ban on allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the military be repealed? Let's give a little background on this issue. President Clinton in his 1992 presidential campaign pledged to end the ban that would prohibit homosexuals for serving in the military. He wanted homosexuals to be allowed to serve in the military. In 1993, there was a compromise law passed which was entitled, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The "Don't Ask" provision of the bill says that superiors aren't to directly inquire of a new service member's "sexual orientation". They can't ask whether that member is either a homosexual or heterosexual. The "Don't Tell" provision of the bill states that a servicemember can't say say they're homosexual nor participate in overt homosexual behavior. If they participate in open sexual behavior, then that would be grounds for a dishonorable charge. Homosexuals would have to keep their lifestyle private. They couldn't talk about matters in regards to sexuality in the military. The 1993 law was a departure from past precedent in the U.S. military. Prior to the 1993 compromise on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", the military in 1942 considered being labeled a sodomite or engaging in homosexuality activity in the military grounds for dismissal. When the military used to screen candidates in recruiting, they would ask whether the person enlisting in the military was homosexual or heterosexual.

There have been recent efforts to lift the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on homosexuals. Colin Powell, former Army Joint Chiefs of Staff who once supported the recent "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the military said that since many years have elapsed, that measure should be reviewed. President Obama in his presidential campaign of 2008 said that he would lift the ban on open homosexuality if he were to become president. On Saturday President Obama spoke at the annual dinner for the Human Rights Campaign, which is a large gay rights group. He reaffirmed his commitment to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban in the military. He said he would end it at the right time. I do believe the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the U.S. military will be repealed in a matter of time. There are certain elements in American society who are under pressure by the gay rights mafia who desire to legitimatize the homosexual lifestyle in America. They desire for all aspects of the homosexual lifestyle to be considered normal and okay. Anyone that opposes homosexuality is considered a bigot. The gay rights movement has been taking place since 1969 and has gained tremendous steam since the presidency of Bill Clinton. We live in a post-Christian society today. Vice has become virtue to the media, Hollywood, our elected elite in Washington, D.C., and in academia. We have liberals trying to promote lifestyles that are anti-family and anti-God. That's one of the signs we're living in the last days.

The media shouldn't ban the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the U.S. military. If anything, we should revert back to the previous military policy on homosexuals and screen applicants for the military to determine if they're homosexual. Homosexuality is an abomination to God. We shouldn't promote that lifestyle in any element of American society. The basic building block of society is the family unit. Open sexual behavior regardless whether it's homosexual or even heterosexual in the military barracks isn't conducive to military morale. The purpose of the military is to defend our country, not to promote open sexual behavior. A married couple has the right engage in a sexual relationship with one another. However, there's a time and a place for that. You don't engage in sexual behavior in the military barracks being exposed to other soldiers. Just think how much worse it is when it's homosexuals flaunting their sexuality. It undermines military morale.

Years ago when Rush Limbaugh has his own television program he made a statement in regards to the purpose of the military that I believe bears repeating. He said in one of the 1992 television programs that the purpose of the military is to kill people and break things; not engage in social experimentation. He was saying that in reference to former Colorado Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder's desire to elevate women in positions of leadership and combat in the military. The military isn't about civil rights. It's about adequately training soldiers so they can properly defend this country. Weakening qualification standards to serve in the U.S. military will harm our military. It's important to have unity and social cohesion when it comes to the troops. Allowing immoral behavior to become acceptable in the military will undermine morale, limit military readiness, and hinder us from defeating the threats we face abroad today such as Iran. Allowing homosexuals to flaunt their lifestyle in front of other soldiers just compounds the problem.
