[QUOTE="Jones, post: 737175, member: 4805"] Actually the military doesn't get to decide who is allowed to serve and who isn't. Civilian authority has always determined that. The military didn't desegregate on their own either, and they were in no hurry to do it. They were ordered to do so by President Truman in 1948. In this country civilians have control of the military and that's a good thing. There will always be people who are prejudiced, but I have yet to see a decent argument as to why we should have government policies that cater to them. The idea that we are requiring any gay people who want to serve their country to live a lie "for their own safety" is self evidently ridiculous, and it actually has nothing to do with why the policy was put in place. +1 Like I said earlier, the policy is going to be changed regardless of what we think and it's just not going to be any big deal to the people serving now. Really. [/QUOTE]
