Everybody should embrace DADT repeal

There has been a lot of controversy over the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal. Lots of people oppose Congress or the courts interfering with military affairs, which is the grounds numerous oppose it on now. The objection is the very same now. The ruling of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell being declared unconstitutional by Judge Virginia Phillips has ruffled a lot of feathers. Many conservatives have opposed repealing the DADT doctrine, however a repeal of the policy is something everyone, including all Republicans, ought to grasp.

Civil rights problem with DADT policy

Nobody will say that DADT is not a civil rights issue. It just is. It would be ridiculous to try and deny it. It used to be that individual liberties were significant. The Republican party believed this strongly. The slaves ended up being freed, with a simple view of the event, by Abraham Lincoln. Also, the Log Cabin Republicans brought forth the suit. That’s where the DADT suit came from. Seems like like Republicans go with civil liberties. It’s something they’re known for. There is also one more incentive, one that is near and dear to the heart of any committed Republican.

It will conserve the government cash

The military is paid for by the public. That is how it is funded. Tax dollars pay for our troops. This is why Republicans might think fiscal conservatism is something to look into. If the military has to instantly drop all investigations and never conduct an additional one pursuant to a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell discharge, that is money that will not have to be spent. Millions each and every year could be saved. By 2006, the working class individuals had already paid more than $360 just for the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell investigations, reports USA Today.

Put that as part of your tea

The current mood among the more conservative wing of this nation, especially the Tea Party, is of deep concern with fiscal practices. Millions will be saved if the DADT policy ends. Also, our fellow citizens have been treated poorly. This will protect their future rights. We have to be more respectful of each other. This is especially true of armed forces.
