Time To End ‘Don’t Ask’, (Washington Post)…Editorial July 11, 2008, Pg. 16
The “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that continues the ban on gay men and lesbians serving openly in the U.S. military was wrong when President Clinton signed it into law in 1993, and it’s wrong today. The only difference between then and now is that more people are now coming around to that conclusion.
Changing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy would be considered a fundamental change to the system.
