DADT repeal could have flaws
Former servicemember Galen Patterson-Smith gives us insight on Don’t Ask, Don’t tell.
Congress has officially repealed the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy for American service members, but what does this mean for the big picture?
This policy in its original intent was to allow gays and lesbians into the military as long as they weren’t openly gay. Therefore, the revoking of this policy is nothing short of a milestone for gays and lesbians in the military as well as one giant step towards nation-wide acceptance of alternate lifestyles.
On the surface, this appears to be a good thing, however, it might have larger and more serious repercussions than Congress had imagined.
Until a few years ago, the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy meant exactly that. Fellow government employees couldn’t legally ask, and those who had something to hide weren’t required to answer.
However, few people are aware that as early as 2006, American servicemen were given classes on the changes to the DADT policy.
