SynopsisIn 1993, new laws and regulations pertaining to homosexuality and U.S. military service came into effect reflecting a compromise in policy. This compromise, colloquially referred to as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," holds that the presence in the armed forces of persons who demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in same-sex acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion which are the essence of military capability. Under this policy, but not the law, service members are not to be asked about nor allowed to discuss their "same-sex orientation." The law itself does not prevent service members from being asked about their sexuality. This compromise notwithstanding, the issue has remained politically contentious. This book explores the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law and its background as well as the issues of gays in the military., In 1993, laws and regulations pertaining to homosexuality and US military service came into effect reflecting a compromise in policy. This compromise, colloquially referred to as 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell, '. This book explores the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law and its background as well as the issues of gays in the military
