This is a quick story to celebrate the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell in 2010.
Tony V is a young SEAL that has to hide for fear of losing the career that he obviously enjoys. Adam is the ex of both Robin Chadwick and Jules Cassidy that have featured in many of Suz's books.
Here Brockmann provides a glimpse of the difficulties that are caused by DADT. On the surface, DADT seems like a good idea.We just don't ask about sexual orientation, right? Bit the truth behind that is far more restrictive. As Jay Lopez states in the story:
I'm pissed at the system. How was your evening? How's Callie? How many times did I ask him that? We all did. And he couldn't answer any of us honestly. Can you imagine not being able to talk about what you did last night, or over the weekend? ...This is again emphasized when Tony gets injured while on an op. Adam has to worry about who sees him go visit Tony in the hospital for fear it will out Tony. No one should have to hide like that. So while I am glad it DADT was repealed, what I would real like to hear is that it is more then just a house of cards. As in, we say the words to make the changes but the changes never actually happen.
Can you imagine? ... For all I know, T's married, and because he wants to serve our country, he can't introduce the love of his life to any of us. He can't even whisper his name. And that's just wrong."
