On a panel about LiftTheBan.org at the Take Back America conference John Aravosis of America Blog and Bleu Copas, a fired linguist, discuss the fact that now is the time to lift the ban on gays in the military. Times have changed since the policy began in 1993.


Ask yourself this question. If I were captured by a group of Middle Eastern terrorists who would I pick to have by my side, a guy who speaks their language, or one who does not?
