DADT Protest: Gay Activists Arrested For Chaining Themselves To White House Fence To Protest Don't Ask Don't Tell

There are more pressing issues than DADT? When translators and other qualified officers are being outed (against DADT "official policy") and ousted against their wills? When they have not told, but have been betrayed by members of their own corps? When they have been interrogated until admitting their sexuality, without having acted on it? When the unit morale and cohesion is eroded by skilled, qualified, decorated service members being suddenly yanked out? When the gap is filled by less-qualified, ill-prepared novices as replacements?



And all of this in a time of war - in two countries?



Every service member is valuable, and those who would find absence of LGBT service members (the first to be "stop-lossed" in a crisis) an acceptable and good thing do not aid our troops. It's more akin to giving aid and comfort to our enemies.



"Precious time" is lost when irreplaceable soldiers and others become a "non-priority."
