Response "Dont Ask"

The blog known as Wake Up America had an interesting article titled “Don’t Ask”. The author Zachary Waggoner features an interesting topic dealing with the Don’t ask Don’t tell policy. The author focuses on the gay rights in the military and how they are mistreated. It states that gay military officers are being discharged. There are gay soldiers right now in the military who are too frightened to come out because they know the consequences if they do. What gives us the right to keep people scared for being open? I have to agree with the author that U.S. citizens who are willing to fight and put their lives on the line should not have to worry about their sexual preferences.  Zachary Waggoner points out that the Obama administration may disagree with the policy but they are lacking action. I would have to argue and disagree that the Obama party is not taking enough affirmative action to repeal this horrendous act and they shouldn’t be given sympathy just because of the seriousness and controversy involved. In a Nation where we promote absolute freedom, the President of the United States needs to step up and show the people that the military does not put limits on sexual orientation. After reading Zachary Waggoner’s article I can totally agree with his argument that the U.S. military should not have limits and he points out very key issues on the controversy building around it.
