The passage of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)
policy in 1993 was a compromise that sought
to ease restrictions on gay, lesbian, and
bisexual service members but ultimately
resulted in continued secrecy and 13,000 to
14,000 discharges over its 17-year history.
The policy led to the removal of
approximately 1,000 "high demand"
specialists, including Arabic language
translators, pilots, and engineers, at a
time when the U.S. was involved in major
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. |
