Don't Ask, Don't Tell

This policy known as don't ask, don't tell, which allows gays and lesbians to serve in the military so long as they keep their sexual orientation quiet. This has caused an enormous blunder in the courts and in Congress. As we have discussed recently in this blog, Hemingway had four wives in his life, though most of them caused him much grief, he couldn't go without being with someone. Most of the arguments for don't ask, don't tell are more geared towards the overall spectrum of the war. Having gay's and lesbian's serve in the military cause great distraction and goes against morale (to most). Hemingway being a major war veteran would most likely be all for repealing don't ask don't tell. He is a man who wants things done and would do anything to get there. He would agree with a lot of people on this current event. I myself think it would be fantastic if gay's could openly serve in the military. Allowing them so serve would most likely strengthen the U.S. Military, and never hinder the effectiveness, even at time of war, 70% of the members believe that the impact of repealing the law would be either positive or no consequence at all (New York Times). Which may cause American families of gay servers to have much grief towards the military. On an argumentative note towards my last statement.  Hemingway never believed in that family lifestyle, as people opposed of gay's believed strongly in the idea of a family with a man and a woman. He may have had open arms for gay's wanting to join the military. I believe it is all in how you are raised and your own standards in life. No one will ever agree on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, but as for Ernest Hemingway, I believe he would have agreed with this policy.
