How about only "Don't Ask" as a military policy?

So we all know the general policy for gays in the military, it even has a catchy name: Don’t Ask. Don’t Tell.

But why should gays be targeted and even discharged from their job if they CHOOSE to be open about their sexual orientation? And quite frankly, being honest about who they are, and simply being themselves.

Shouldn’t the policy be only “Don’t Ask.” So that no GLBT person feels pressured to tell, but can do so if they WANT to.

I know that one argument for “Don’t Tell” is that sometimes when gay people in the military “out” themselves they have been met with violence in the past. But most gay people can gauge people’s openness and aren’t in the military to be a ‘big fat’ gay rights activist.

I also know that the military does have “tolerance” training. So that indicates that anti-gay actions (even mild ones) are not acceptable conduct. And you can be reprimanded for them

Should we consider a new policy, for gays in the military? Something like “Don’t Ask”. Or do you have another alternative? Or do you stand by Clinton’s Don’t Ask, AND Don’t Tell?
