Letter to the Editor—USAToday
On Friday, the editors at USAToday published a letter from SLDN executive director Aubrey Sarvis on the irony of the Army involuntarily extending the orders of soldiers while at the same time discharging service members who are open about being lesbian, gay or bisexual.
"Repealing "don't ask, don't tell" is not going to solve the Army's recruitment problems, but at least it would allow those gay men and women who want to serve to do so openly, and it would prevent the discharge of those who are already in the service. Not only is it the practical thing to do, it is also the only fair and just thing to do," writes Sarvis.

i think changing the ban or atleast not throwing people out would impact recruitment. especially with the dozens of gay arabic translators who were kicked out.<BR><BR>http://www.queersunited.blogspot.com
