The Repeal Of Don't Ask Don't Tell

In the course of natural events, nature, guided by the will of men took a different course. Certain men became sexually attracted to other men. Certain women became sexually attracted to other women. Was there a certain rule, guideline, or moral parameter designed for humankind to prevent this from happening? Was there a natural law? Was there a legislative law? Was there a divine law? Yes, there was/is. Nevertheless, due to the 4 D's, disobedience, defiance, disillusionment, and depravity of the human race; adjustments have had to be made in this nation regarding the permission to openly serve as a lesbian or a homosexual in the armed forces of the United States. The time has come. Will there be problems? Yes, there will be problems. But every problem has a solution. Every problem related to this change will be a human problem, a personnel problem, a military problem. There will be solutions. Nearly all of them will be imperfect solutions. But they will be solutions. The pursuit of justice using the devices of men will always produce imperfect justice. Why? Because there are imperfect laws. Imperfect laws produce imperfect justice. Albeit, there are men and women serving in the military service who have connections to divine answers. They will play a major role. In order for right to prevail, God must be involved in the equation. If I am optomistic about the decision to repeal the "Don't ask don't tell" policy, I am because I have faith in the men and women in our great military who have faith. "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." (Psalms 23:4)
