With the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell our homosexual american friends can finally serve in the armed forces without having to keep their sexuality a secret. While I will agree that this is a step in the right direction, I don’t many people have thought about the potential backlash this may cause within our military. Do I think that homosexuals should have to keep their orientation secret? Of course not, but we all know that there are homophobic people already serving in the military and no one has really seemed to ask about their reaction. Will there be people who begin to disobey orders if it happens to involve a gay patriot? Who knows how this will affect combat operations with the wars we are currently involved in and I truly hope that those currently enrolled in the military will put aside any possible prejudice and simply accept their brothers and sisters who happen to live a different life style. I would like to think that when it comes down to it, any member of the military would proudly take a bullet to safe the life of a fellow soldier, regardless of any differences they may have in beliefs. If it were me, I surely wouldn’t care who was going into the battlefield with me as long as they knew what they were doing when things get crazy.
