I was reading an article earlier today over at GayAgenda.com about a call made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for the Obama administration to repeal the outdated Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy. As quoted by GayAgenda.com, Reid said in a letter to President Obama, “At a time when we are fighting two wars, I do not believe we can afford to discharge any qualified individual who is willing to serve our country.” Harry, you're right. We can't afford to lose any of the brave men and women who are fighting in the wars. But, I want to pick a bone with Reid ...
