Federal Judge Orders Halt to 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Enforcement

A federal judge issued a worldwide injunction Tuesday stopping enforcement of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, ending the U.S. military's 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops. Although this is being praised by gay rights activists, I believe this to be the wrong decision. As I posted earlier I believe that Gays should be allowed to serve openly, however I do believe this to be the wrong time to do it. Polls do show that Americans believe they should serve openly, I get that, but at the same time a majority of Men and Women who currently serve in the military still disagree. Many commanding officers said they would separate gays from the rest of the troops, which would then bring lawsuits, which means many good people will be hurt, and taxpayers would pay for the cost. I do not believe a judge has the right to determine military policy. It is not their place. They know nothing when it comes to serving in the military, and they are not objective. First thing people should know about objectivity, is that nobody is objective. This decision should not have been made by a single person. Especially when you had the Pentagon looking at what a decision like this could do to the morale of the troops. I believe the judge just opened a can of worms, and she will have to bear what is about to come. The military has its own way of doing things, and even though the military cannot kick people out for being gay. The military as a whole can still make it very difficult for someone to serve openly
