I’ve written an op-ed that will run in tomorrow’s Baltimore Sun titled “Ending ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ is about more than gays in the military.” The piece is also available on the Sun’s online opinion page here. I’ll refer you to their site for the details, but if you have been reading this page in recent months you can probably make an educated guess as to its content.
I saw your article in the paper and I love it. It is well written but also makes and excellent point. Don’t ask don’t tell is one of the many things very specific to the military that contributes to the civil-military gap.
