GWU Students Protest 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'
Around 60 George Washington University students marched to the White House on Saturday to protest the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regarding gays in the military, the Hatchet reports. The march was prompted by the dismissal of a GWU freshman from the NROTC program after he was seen kissing another male by two other NROTC members.
"It is pretty motivating to have so many people show up," said Todd Belok, the student who was dismissed from the program. "I think as long as we continue the momentum until March 13 [a major national rally on the issue] . . . then we can really change something."

Let them all in
SPC - guess what the list you provided - yeah they are all in - so why not let everyone in, oh I forgot -- not the gays, right? Have a nice day.
They should go talk to the recruiter
The students are on the outside looking. Maybe a tour or two in the Ghan would clear things up.
The military is the most selective organization in America.
Here are some other people groups that need in the military too.....
1. Fat people.
2. Racists.
3. Criminals.
4. Debtors.
5. People that have too many kids.
6. Medically not qualified.
7. High school drop-outs.
8. Extermists.
9. Politcial activists.
10. Drug addicts.
Should I go on.....?
Oh I forgot Sleep walkers and bed weters.
Shouldn't we just let everyone in?
