摘要:本文是一篇加拿大留学生职称论文,主要介绍了“不问不说”的军事政策。
ces. The 'don't ask' part of the policy stipulates that an investigation should not be initiated against service members in the absence of disallowed behaviors, though credible and articulated evidence of homosexual behavior may cause an investigation. Through continued violations of 'Don't Ask' in the form of the persecutions and harassment of suspected homosexual service members resulted in the policy's current formulation as Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Purse, Don't Harass.
The hidden ideological suppositions contained in the policy are that while homosexuals may serve in the military they are not allowed to serve if they are openly homosexual. Further, the policy, as stated above, says that a commander may not initiated an investigation based solely on assumption, but if a service member gives the military 'credible and articulated evidence' then an investigation may be initiated. However, the threshold and definition for what 'credible and articulated evidence' is not clearly stated within the policy.
Secondly, the DADT policy is a contradiction to law in that the policy states that a service member may not be asked about, or discuss, same-sex orientation; while the law does not preclude this type of discussion (Burrelli, 2009). Being that there is a contradiction between the official policy and the law there leaves room for hidden ideological suppositions.
The basic ideology falls within liberal and conservative thinking, can not be limited to just one of the choices. This policy presents a liberal view in allowing homosexuals to serve in the military. The conservative views of this policy show stronger in the aspect that the policy is not allowing those with a homosexual orientation to speak of, or openly serve in the military. While neither ideological belief, singularly, can be summed up and interpreted for the entire policy, it would seem as though the 'side' is chosen by the individual in which the policy effects or the individual who is interpreting the policy.
The most obvious impact of this policy would be the effect the DADT policy has on homosexual and bi-sexual service members (past, present and future). This policy is written in such a way that homosexuals who currently serve are 'forced' to live a lie, being that, unlike there heterosexual counterparts, they are unable to discuss their sexual orientation. Further, it is known that heterosexuals tend to discuss their sexual orientation openly and almost at ease within the military. Homosexuals are also held to a different standard in that they are not allowed to participate in any off-duty recreations that may indicate them as being homosexual; whereas in contrast their heterosexual counterparts are allowed to go to clubs, bars and other 'heterosexual' establishments without repercussions from the military.
As an example: A male service member in his mid-twenties may choose not to discuss his sexual orientation or acts with other service members. This would be considered, by some, out of the norm. Some service members may take to the belief that this service member is homosexual. While it is unknown, due to his lack of communication about sex, this service member is a religious person who does not wish to participate or talk about pre-marital sexual relations with fellow service members. It is this service member and others like him who is also impacted by this policy.
