The rocket scientists at the Servicemember’s Legal Defense Network<\/a> is advising gay and lesbian servicemembers NOT to fill out the questionnaire that the Department of Defense has commissioned to determine how to handle the repeal of the so-called Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Their reason? They suspect it’s a trick to bust gay and lesbian servicemembers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

[Cynthia Smith, a Pentagon spokeswoman] noted that the survey doesn’t ask whether a respondent is gay. It asks questions about their overall experience in the military, their experience in serving with people they believed were gay and their attitudes about how a change in the law might affect recruiting, privacy, unit cohesion and so on.<\/p>\n

Officials stressed that the survey is not a referendum on the question of repeal but rather aimed at getting opinions and helping developing a plan for implementing any repeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Isn’t that what the Sunnis did in the first Iraqi election? And then they complained that because they didn’t have a voice in the election the whole government was skewed against them?<\/p>\n
