‘DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL’ IS A THREAT TO THE CONSTITUTION AND NATIONAL SECURITY.

The following quotes are extracted from Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper’s  Op-Ed on the DADT policy.

“Recent headlines lead many in the gay community to believe the fight to repeal DADT is over, but the policy and discharges remain fully in force.”

“As a veteran of the Iraq campaign and a current Army reserve officer, I can attest that DADT is a hindrance to servicemember integrity, readiness and security, and is a waste of tax dollars.”

“Further, striking the DADT policy and implementing repeal will be a force multiplier for the retention and expansion of much-needed personnel and resources to fulfill the expeditionary campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as other training and peace-keeping missions around the globe.”
