Future Of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Stirs Debate Within Military Circles- Oposing View Side

This article was adressing the issue of gays in the military and how the president wants to change the "Dont ask dont tell policy" and it talked about how this women named Ms. Elaine Donnelly(President, Center For Military Readiness)her view point on the issue. She thinks that changing the current policy would hurt the morale of the troops so, she strongly disagrees with changing the law. She says that if this law changes, soldiers will not re-enlist if the law is repealed. She also talks about how this is not a religious issue and she thinks that its very rational and not prejudce to have the "Dont ask, Dont tell policy. Ms. Donelly says, 'The weakest argument going, because of racial separation and prejudice was irrational and it still is. The military took it on head-on because it was irrational and we needed those good soldiers who are already in the military, they just had to attack the prejudice. However, separation of men and women in the military, in areas involving sexual privacy is not only rational, it is desirable and certainly customary in the civilian world as well as the military. The two cannot be equated. They are not the same". This shows that she believes that this is not a prejudgeing issue. I disagree with this because in my opinion, they are discriminating against something. Its not fair for Gays to hide their identity to try to help out this country. Also, Ms. Donnelly says that the "Dont ask dont tell policy keeps things in good order and disipline and i guess, that that makes sense to me as to why she would think that but I feel like she thinks that gays and lesbians are so wrong when really they are not. I feel like our society makes them feel so out of place and it makes me feel symathy for them. The article pretty much talked about how she totally disagreed with changing the law.
