I can't help but think . . . why? I’m sure everyone here agrees with the first part of the policy. I don't see the majority openly stating "hey I'm heterosexual". There is no reason for it. Why is there any need to modify this? It is simply a logistical nightmare, not to mention potential negative morale effects in combat training and on the battlefield. Political correctness would cripple everything and the leaders would be afraid to undo the damage done.
I think it is possible for a politician that has never served in the military to make good decisions as Commander In Chief. This; however, is not an example. Focus on more important things Obama.

It didn't come up in the debates as anything more than a yes/no question ("Will you overturn it?")
And the current policy is a nightmare. You really support a policy that says "we can't ask if you're gay, but if we find out, you're done."? Really? It's cool to have a policy that says if you're gay and want to serve you have to pretend not to be gay?
Trying to call this a "political correctness" issue is pretty insulting to me.
