| Message | The only problem is, once the military discovers your gay you are kicked out of the army for 'unit disruption'. If no one cares, they why should we tell gays to stay in the closet...because this isn't a social network? That's absurd. Don't ask don't tell is horrible, it's causing militaries in RL all sorts of problems, for commanders and soliders alike. |
