This awesome list comes to us from Jethro Aryeh, the nom de plume of an active duty military officer and war veteran, who, because of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” itself, cannot share with us his real name. Think about that for a moment. Because of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” a member of our armed forces, highly-decorated, according to him, cannot tell us his identity. Talk about a violation of first amendment rights, just like the federal court judge who declared “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” unconstitutional ruled.
