Why It Matters

So here is the thing...

I don't often find myself agreeing with Bill O'Reilly, but I gotta hand to him, this makes sense!
DADT is wildly unjust and perpetuates the myth that homosexuals are somehow second-class citizens. If the military TRULY felt it was such a terrible thing, they would vet all Americans, dig into their pasts and deny gays and lesbians the ability to serve. Don't Ask Don't Tell has nothing to do with whether someone can serve in the military. It was put into place with the idea that some people were just so ignorant that they couldn't handle knowing a homosexual might save their lives or even die to protect them.  That turned the military into a witch hunting mob, but it certainly didn't stop them from serving with openly gay and lesbian members of OTHER military forces around the world. In fact, we actually asked for their help when we stormed into Iraq.

Bill O'Reilly knows the truth, so do millions of other Americans across party lines.
It's called an executive order President Obama; use it for something meaningful to help build equality!
