With the number of military recruits decreasing each day many say that a draft is inevitable which got me thinking, if the draft was reinstated could the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy coexist with the draft? I personally think that with such a large population of people against the war all someone would need to do to get discharged from the army would to utter the words, "I'm gay". So I think logically there couldn't be a Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy if there was ever a draft.
Also I recently read an article saying there are over 41,000 gay soldiers that would join the army if the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy was ended (http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/07/072505military.htm). I, personally, am against the war and I say if someone wants to fight in the war better them than myself. Do you think that with this shortage of soldiers the ban needs to be lifted to avoid having to reinstate the draft?
