Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
The "don't ask, don't tell" policy has been part of the military for 15 years now and Pres. Obama has said it’s time to repeal it. Drawing on more than a decade of research and hundreds of interviews, Nathaniel Frank claims "don’t ask, don’t tell" is damaging, not only to the gays and lesbians it targets, but to the military as a whole. His book is called Unfriendly Fire.
