      Being in the military is a huge responsibility to take onto your plate and a large role in society as well. Yesterday, the "don't ask, don't tell" policy expired.  This policy was put in place for those who were gay. They couldn't tell anyone they were homosexual nor be asked about it, but if their sexual orientation became public they could be discharged. More than 14,000 people were discharged from the army for this very reason. I think that with this policy being gone that it will make members of the military not only uncomfortable, but make it less effective as well, which isn't good for our society as a whole. As the government, we should make a compromise or better yet if it's going to be an issue either keep the gays out. If it were up to me the compromise of keeping them as seperate as possible would be put in place because it is important to keep these men and women focused on the task in play.
