In his support of a Resolution going around in the Missouri State Senate, State Senator Gary Nodler said this....
Quote:
"There are real-world implications," Nodler said. "This is a policy that would directly threaten the lives of soldiers today."
Nodler's argument: The Muslim nations of Iraq and Afghanistan, where America is fighting two wars, are opposed to homosexuality. Changing "Don't ask, don't tell" would offend the terrorists in such a way that could put soldiers — and America — at risk of further terrorist attacks.

Nodler is currently running for the GOP nomination for Congress in Missouri in order to replace Roy Blunt who is not seeking reelection in order to run for Senate
