This is such a cryptic headline for anyone unfamiliar. Even reading the article its not immediately clear without the context of the community this was posted to.

this headline was 100% readable for someone old enough to have lived through this nonsense. seems trivial to lookup the policy if young ones are unfamiliar

Nah. I’m plenty old enough and it’s a shit headline, probably purposeful ragebait.

More than 800 service members ejected from US military under ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

WTF how is that possible, is that still in effect in some way??
