How would the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy function under a Draft?

Question

I was curious. If someone found out, would you still be kicked out? If so, wouldn't people start claiming to be gay?

Answer 1

No they would not claim to be. Most were kicked out of the service when there was a draft and they found out they were gay. I suspect it would work pretty much the same way it has always worked!

They didn't kick out lesbians though! At least none I know of!

Answer 2

What would change since the last draft? In the 60s and before there was a strict no gay in the military policy.

Answer 3

Draft them to Shoot "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Terrorist cells and their leaders. After all, this is WAR over there... may it get done over there. Perhaps those with two or more piercings, and lovers of death metal... would make our best anti terrorist forces. Sodomy is an affective assault on the rear flank. Probably will get censored for this one...

Answer 4

I'd say that a lot of people would start "telling," whether or not they were gay ;-)

Answer 5

Ask the democrats who are pushing for the draft.

Answer 6

Republicans around the country will all of a sudden be "gay" and will want to be protected from people that hate them just because they are gay.
