Trick # 7 part 2.

The whole “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was started on December 21, 1993 and ended on September 20, 2011 after President Obama, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Admiral Mike Mullen which set the end of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.  The policy was designed so that gay soldiers could not openly join the military but at the same time prevented military personnel from discriminating or asking about a soldiers sexual preference.  The policy was originally formulated in 1981 under the Department of Defense titled under the Directive 1332.14.  According to http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/html/military_history.html

Nearly 17,000 men and women were discharged under the category of homosexuality.   Both comics done by Jill Parker and the second by Steve Greenberg both show cases that our soldiers ultimately don’t care about the policy.  They don’t care what your sexual preference is.  It’s ultimately about serving with the soldier next to you.  Putting your life in their hands.  They have a job to do and it’s important for the mission and our country that they do it.
