Lift the ban



Think Progress:
Robert Greendwald’s Brave New Films has released a new video at LiftTheBan.org documenting how the U.S. military’s ban on openly gay servicemembers has compromised our national security by worsening our shortage of Arabic linguists.
During my tinfoil hat times I've wondered if firing all the gay Arabic speakers and translators was intentional, if confusion and distrust is what they really wanted in the end....

But the military and the Pentagon wouldn't do that, would they?

Make them prove it. Lift the ban. Hire them back.

Because it is the most incredibly intelligent thing to do.
