DADT: A WWII Vet's View

[mgc1961]

Calvin Fritz, of Belleville, has an interesting viewpoint on the controversy over the military's policy of don't ask, don't tell.

Fritz, 84, served aboard the USS St. George, a seaplane tender, in the Pacific Ocean near the end of World War II, and he said he knew guys who were homosexual and proudly served their country.

"They were just people," he said. "They served in the war."

Guy made a pass, Grandpa said "no thanks," and life went on.
