| Message | We believe that homosexuality in the military should be kept to one's self. It only brings on added distractions to other soldiers, and could create turmoil inside our very own Armed Forces. So to deter this turmoil, instead of banning all homosexuals from entering the military, we agree with the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
