Don't Ask, Don't Tell

In the latest news, Congress came together and formed a meeting to discuss the ban of the policy Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT). Also, the Pentagon has discussed the issue of openly recruiting gays. The decision has been made that the ban of the policy can be overturned if a recruiter discovers the sexuality of a recruit. The policy became known well under President Bill Clinton in the 90's. Now that attitudes have changed, federal judges have decided to declare the policy unconstitutional. On a more surprising note, the White House has made the promise to appeal the decision. For the first time in history, the United States military is allowing recruits that are openly gay. This major decision has opened up numerous opportunities and has answered many questions concerning those that were interested in serving their country. Not only does this brighten the future for most, but it also allows the rest of the nation to realize that military cohesion would not be disrupted. Anyone with the capabilities should be allowed to serve their country regardless of their sexual preference. As a precaution, gay recruits were sent to recruiting stations to test the policy to ensure their eligibility. Overturning the ban on the policy is a major aspect in the atmosphere of Congress. Although this may be a positive look for some of America, recruits have been asked not to come out just yet in case a judge decides to change his/her mind on the decision made by the Pentagon. As the court battle rages on, most are hopeful that the final decision allows most to continue serving readily in the military or open up career opportunities for others. The current ban on the policy has made most cautious as to how they might express their sexuality. Eventually, this battle will be over and a final decision will have to be made. Until then, President Obama has assured most that the defense authorization will be passed before Congress. Will the policy Don't Ask, Don't Tell be active again?
