The US Military and our President are taking steps to end the “Don’t ask don’t tell” policy of our armed forces which was put in place during the Clinton presidential era.
There have been gay men and women serving in the armed forces since I can remember so it is not a new thing. Troops who were gay normally did a better job than the average troop because they knew that public sentiment was against them. No Commander in his right mind would attempt to have a good soldier kicked out regardless of who he or she was because of the job that that soldier did for the unit.
Now I don’t believe that we should generate any special rules and regulations to favor gay men and women in the military, or for any other group of people. I also believe that all inappropriate sexual behavior should be punished whether it be from straight or gay troops.
The military has rules against the open display of many things because it is not a democracy, and it should never be. This should not change. The military is the military. This is only the opinion of the custom military ring man. Every person has his or her own opinion. Many of you don’t know this but I am a black man. I never place my picture on this blog because I know that if many of you saw it you would not even read the articles. So I don’t openly advertise or display my race. Although it shouldn’t matter it does to some of you. Thats life. It is what it is so we have to use some wisdom and deal with it.
