Don't Ask Don't Tell Please Email This Story Print This Story

Four Harvard University students face charges for refusing to leave a military recruiting center in South Portland where they were protesting the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Police said between 20 and 30 people were inside and outside the recruiting center when they were called Tuesday morning. When police told the group to leave, four people refused and were charged with criminal trespassing.

"Don't Ask Don't Tell(DADT)" is in the news twice today. Once for the idiot students not really understanding that a recruiting center is the wrong place to protest. Twice with a appeals court overturning a decision upholding the policy. How can this be put into plain English. In the military you spend 24/7 with other soldiers. Unfortunately personal lives become part of work life. To be a good soldier you have to be willing to follow orders. If you can't follow the basic DADT then you can't follow other orders find another job. Should DADT be lifted or made harsher?
