Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell: At a Loss
My friend John Cox wrote in an e-mail:
[Read "Move To End 'Don't Ask' As GAO Reveals Gay Ban Cost $200 Million"] and see how much money the Don't Ask, Don't Tell military ban on gays and lesbians has cost us American taxpayers. Incredible! What has always perplexed me is the coalition in Iraq: Americans are the only ones who ban Gays from serving because Gays "cause morale problems." Yet other armed forces in the coalition have Gays serving openly, side-by-side with Americans and there're no "morale problems." How does this happen?
