I remember some of my earliest political arguments online discussing the subject of don't ask don't tell and pushing back against the notion that it should have been left to the joint chiefs or some shit. Trying to point out that we have (allegedly) a military beholden to a civilian government back then much like today will get you more than a few "Tell that to the kids at Kent state". There is a very deep sickness that runs through this godforsaken country.
