Australia, Great Britain, Canada, Israel, and 20 other countries have overturned bans allowing gays in their militaries, and have a significant increase.  Here, in America, where freedom is prized, still holds on to its "don't ask, don't tell" policy of not allowing gay men and women to bolster our military fighting forces, despite the evidence contrary to the views of why gays must be banned!  We would have significantly more troops, improve our national security, and improve our country's moral standing in the world if we joined these 24 other countries and overturned our gay military ban, as well!
