LETTER: Re-segregation? Comparing us to Silicon Valley? You've got to be kidding

Wednesday, February 17, 2010 | 2:44 p.m. CST

In reading this morning's opinion page (Feb. 17), a couple of the pieces gave me that, "you have to be kidding" reaction. The first was Col. Miller's piece on "don't ask, don't tell." If one follows the colonel's logic to its ultimate conclusion, we need to re-segregate the troops first by sex and then by race. Cannot have anything like humanity getting in the way of cohesiveness. The colonel also fails to explain why the British, Canadian and especially Israeli armies haven't been torn asunder by lack of cohesiveness.
