In the military, you dont have any rights.
The sources of rights for service members include:
a. U.S. Constitution
b. Uniform Code of Military Justice
c. Manual for Courts-Martial
d. Statutes
e. Regulations
f. Executive orders
...
Rights of service members may be divided into three categories:
1. Equal Protection under the law;
2. Due Process of law;
3. Freedom of Expression

It seems to me that they're flying just fine. After all, this thread is about the policy being changed very soon. Apparently plenty of people agree with my argument.
Besides, this isn't a popularity contest. Isn't it pretty clear that I don't really care if people agree with me or not?
The fact that I'm not in the military is neither here nor there when talking about the civil rights of the people of this country.

And you're telling me I don't know anything about the military? I think you should study up. The military most definitely have protected rights.

And yes, being in the military does matter. Policy is trying to be changed by people that will not be affected by it.
Hey, but that's OK. Not everyone has the sand to join the military.

Im sure you can answer truthfully since you believe "dont ask dont tell" should be abolished.

Oooh! Good one! That personal attack discounts my whole argument, doesn't it?

Like I said. Both of you big, bad military men resort to personal attacks because you've LOST the argument.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Hmm ....... I might be missing something here.
A person who is gay but hides that fact is a safe, reliable, dependable person to be deployed with on a military mission.
A person who is honest and open about being gay is an unsafe, unreliable and undependable person you wouldn't want watching your back?
So honesty and self assurance are bad character traits as far as the military is concerned.
Obviously that can't be the right conclusion. That just leaves the showers. Thats where honesty and self assurance must be the problem.
Now I understand

You admit that if you did not know and things were OK in the course of battle, well that was OK.
