Is the Army's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on its way out?

Question

I watched a newsclip on yahoo.com that talked about openly g*y soldiers now serving in Iraq. From what they've said, their commanders and fellow soldiers all know about them and have no problem with it. Given this, and the fact that the majority of Americans are now opposed to the policy, is "don't ask, don't tell" reaching its final days?

Answer 1

I think don't ask don't tell is good. What does your sexuality have to do with the military anyway? Also, there's a reason women don't serve on the front lines, because sexual or other relationships don't have a place on the battlefield, with openly g*y soldiers there's a possibility of that.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe that the policy is outdated.  

However, in the interests of good personal policies, self-preservation and good health, people should probably keep their sexual preferences to themselves.

And the guys who are openly g*y and serving just goes to show how desperate the army is for bodies in Iraq.  Once the war is over and recruitment rolls come up, they will probably be quickly discharged.

Answer 3

If not, it sure should be.

Answer 4

Yeah, but I kinda hope not since the way it is it is a way for active duty soldiers to get out of the stop-loss draft...I think they may lose their benefits though. (I am against the discrimination against anyone who chooses any career that they can do.)
