Don't Ask Don't Tell

I disagree with the current policy. It does not allow gays to have full rights. They can join the military, but in the end they have to 'cover' who they are in order to stay in the military. I feel if they were to get rid of the policy it would open up more employment for these men and we will have more men who would like to serve on our forces since they can live freely. However, the only problem I foresee with lifting the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is the 'bullying' that may ensue. I feel the minority of men who absolutely do not want gays on the military bases will harass these men. I question whether the men who say they don't care would say anything because they don't care enough either way. Or if the leadership on the base gets into the wrong hands, who knows what will happen to the openly gay. No matter what, I do believe this is a necessary right that all men and women should have, as long as they pass the physical and make it through boot camp.
