Don't Ask Don't Tell

I've been getting emails from the Courage Campaign about repealing the Don't Ask Don't Tell law.

Here's what I think:

DADT is already full equality - EVERYONE can serve, NOBODY can ask, and NOBODY can tell.

There are a few devils in the details, like when a man bring his boyfriend to family day, it's pretty obvious that he's gay. He doesn't have to say anything. Can he get kicked out for that? I don't know.

Is the repeal going to include extra money for the housing and bath facilities that will be needed and psychological preparation for the entire force? An army must train for tough physical and mental stresses and we need to ensure that sexual openness is part of the plan and not a handicap in the force.

DADT allowed the military to ignore the dilemma. But when it's repealed, will the military abolish separate quarters and baths and allow both genders and all sexual orientations to sleep and bath together? Or will it justify the expense of having all individual sleep and bath accommodations? There is no fair and equitable middle ground. 

In my opinion, to repeal DADT without a complete solution is to create a problem bigger than the one being fought now.

In a way, repealing DADT now is premature:  even California, one of the more socially liberal states in the Union, is struggling with equal rights for homosexuals.  So forcing the military institution to deal with it when the country at large hasn't even figured this out isn't fair at all. 

I'm a supporter of other courage campaign efforts so I just want to say: please repeal responsibly.
