I got this bit of news second hand, so I'm not sure how accurate it is... but... if it is accurate, then apparently "Don't Ask" means that they will do their own snooping.
A friend of mine was recently dishonorably discharged from the Army because Army officials found her wife's mySpace website and found out that she's a lesbian. To me, "don't ask" also means that they won't go looking for answers.
Unfortunately, my friend was discharged after serving two tours in Iraq. She was the bread winner of the family and has since lost her income. The two have a son together who is the cutest little button. Now, their family has no health care, no income, and no recourse.
Don't Ask Don't Tell needs to stop. Just because of whom they love, we are losing valuable soldiers who have served our country honorably. When the government can just go seeking answers, it's the same as asking. So... a warning and a plea. Please help end Don't Ask Don't Tell... and please, if you are in a same-sex relationship with someone in the service, don't put it on your mySpace page.
