treating these service men and women like terrorists

This IS a perfect example of what a horrible, unpardonable, inexcusable travesty the judgemental intolerant religious fanatics forced on a country and the brave men and women that were willing to die to protect America's freedom. The draconian law 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' was enacted. For 18 years, thousands of men and women were castigsted, harrassed, persued and disohnorably discharged. The conservative homophobics thought homosexuality was much much worse than adultery, spousal and child abuse, and drug use and alcoholism, in the military. Since its overturn in 2011, just as in other countries that allow homosexuals to serve, military cohesion and moral has not plummeted nor has the sky fallen mor has the world come to an end. Most, a huge majority, felt like Trumbo in the movie - that another person could hump a tree as long as they could cut the grey poupon when the crap hit the fan. One day our country will recover from this but the damage inflicted on these people will never fade. Most of us honor their desire to serve and risk death to protect our freedoms.
