Don't Ask, Don't Tell is the policy restricting the US military from efforts to discover or reveal gays, lesbians, and bisextual servicemembers or applicants, while barring those who are openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual from military service. But after today things will change. Today Don't Ask, Don't Tell is being reversed and will now letting gays, lesbians, and bisextuals join the army. The Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the time has come to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and thats exactly will happen in time. If this does repel the people who were not allowed to be in the military can.
Robert Gates says that overturning this law might cause some disruption at first but would not create any widespread or long-lasting problems. In the Pentagon study that was released today 70% of the US Forces think that serving with gays or lesbians will either have a positive effect or no negative effect at all. When it comes to the US Army and Marines that are serving in the war right now 48%(US Army) and 58%(Marines) say they oppose working with gays, and 38% of the Marines say they will think about leaving if they have to serve with gays. One of the supporter of repeling of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is President Obama. In my opinion i agree with Gates it is time to overturn this law and allow gays to be in the military.
