Paul McNeal, a gay former U.S. servicemember, contacted me a while back. He submitted a guest commentary at InterstateQ.com and then sent this "inside look" at "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" over to me a couple days ago. It's posted at my pad but I thought I'd share with you all as well.
McNeal's piece is a fabulous look into how some LGBT servicemembers might feel about the dreaded anti-gay military policy implemented by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
His piece serves as a great reminder of the sacrifices our LGBT servicemembers must make as they put their lives in harm's way to protect us.
