Yet another reason why Bobby Scott is a Virginia state treasure.
U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott, D- 3rd District, has signed a letter asking President Barack Obama to suspend the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and allow gay people to serve in the military without penalty.
Scott and 76 other legislators this week signed the letter, which argues that the policy does a disservice to the country by forcing out experienced military personnel who are found to be gay or lesbian.
It's time to repeal the antiquated, counterproductive and immoral "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Thanks to Bobby Scott for realizing this and taking action accordingly.
