The Best Reason EVER To NEVER Overturn 'Don't Ask-Don't Tell'

HT Inside Higher Ed.

The President of Harvard University assures us that ROTC will be welcomed on campus once the military abandons 'Don't Ask-Don't Tell'.

Harvard University, which expelled ROTC four decades ago, will welcome the military training program back to campus only when the ban on openly gay and lesbian service members is repealed, the university’s president said yesterday.

Harvard’s president, Drew Gilpin Faust, speaking the day after the US Senate declined to take up a measure that would have repealed the “don’t ask, don’t tell’’ policy, said vestiges of antimilitarism on campus dating to the Vietnam War are largely gone and she would now welcome the opportunity to “regularize our relationship’’ with the armed forces.

“We are very much looking forward to the end of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ ’’ Faust said. “It will be a very important moment to us when that happens.’’

Let's think about this, ya'll! Harvard has contributed geniuses like Obama, Larry Summers, Elena Kagan--just to name a few recent stellar examples--to the current leadership of our fair country. Do we really really really desire the injection of Harvard ROTC grads into the officer corps of our military?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Please.
