"Soldiers in the Army"

12,000 service members have lost their positions, and the military has lost their service, because of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue."
See the discussion on Rachel Maddow last night 4/2/09 with Colin Powell and Clifford Alexander.

We are now allowing non-citizens to enlist, yet are removing citizens from their service because of their sexual orientation, when sexuality is actually not a requirement for service, service personnel are not to be sexual when in uniform.
