Active Duty Lieutenant Colonel at West Point calls for end to gay ban in military in Army Times:
“Many will say that homosexual practice violates “good order and discipline” in the military; therefore, homosexuals in uniform threaten the national defense. This argument claims that “military necessity” justifies treating gay and lesbian Americans as less than full citizens. This is the same reasoning that once kept out women and blacks. The military did not like being ordered to integrate, but the government said it must. It is time for the government to do the same with homosexuals. Congress should change the law that imposes the gay ban.”
