DADT is needing a wake up call. It is a simple process to implement the acceptance of gays in the military. The arguments being used against gays in the military is the same one that was used to prevent women from serving, then to keep women from serving in combat. The military was not reportedly an environment for women. News flash people they serve very valiantly in all branches. I know as I was one. During the time when I served woman were only permitted to be on military bases or hospital ships. Now look at us. So ladies and gentlemen it is time for the United States of America to truly apply the U.S.Constitution to all citizens equally in all states governed by it. Discrimination can no longer be tolerated in the name of religion as this country is supposed to be inclusive of the right to religious freedom as well. It is time for all of the elected people and those who are appointed to put all people above their personal beliefs. Please don't forget to make sure that any military person who was discharged under DADT is asked if they would like to be re-instated to their previous position. This too is the right thing to do. Then there needs to be a directive that no state constitution can undermine the U.S. Constitution. They can extend more rights but not less.
Imagine if you will that if this country could truly show the world that we are not only a Democratic society but as a truly equal one as well.
We have seen what happens when a particular religion dictates the direction a country is going. That being Iraq. Isn't it about time to stop the religious wars.
Just get it done now. Then get on with creating hundreds of thousands of jobs immediately.
