SAVANNAH, Ga. AP – Don’t ask, don’t tell Ask those who’ve fought in Iraq or Afghanistan about the Pentagon’s move to consider letting gays serve openly, and it’s clear that the ranks are still split, even if polls find growing acceptance of homosexuality in American culture.
The Army’s official Facebook site has been swamped with hundreds of comments, pro and con, since Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate committee Tuesday that it’s wrong to require gays to “lie about who they are” to defend their country. It’s unclear which people posting on the site are currently serving, veterans or nonmilitary.
