If there are Americans who are willing to lay down their lives for our country and make that kind of sacrifice, and we can enable them to be that kind of patriot without harming our national security, not only is it better for them, it is…
If they become significantly affected by this, does that present a systemic risk of some kind?
There's something fundamentally wrong about that. If we can pursue our Nation's security without putting them or us as a country institutionalizing hypocrisy, I think America is stronger, we are a more just and secure country.
Our national security has not been harmed by the integration of the Armed Forces.
