Hope And Change: Obama Fires A Gay Soldier
Obama is the commander-in-chief. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” may be law, but the chief executive can actually stop it from being enforced. And he should, because this is wrong.
Why should it matter who our soldiers have sex with in their private lives? The military already has plenty of regulations against romantic fraternization, why not enforce those and let the private lives of the troops stay private?
There really is no good reason to kick perfectly good troops out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Especially given that among the younger generations that actually comprise the military, homosexuality is accepted by strong majorities.
