Don't ask, don't politicize

摘要

As part of the law widely known as "don't ask, don't tell," military members are required to be briefed on the homosexual policy "upon entry into the armed forces and periodically thereafter." The standard briefings on this subject tend to go out of their way to point out that the prohibition on homosexual conduct is ultimately a function of statute, not discretion. In other words, service members are reassured that the policy was not hatched in the bowels of the Pentagon, but rather in the halls of the Capitol.
