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

A: “Dont ask dont tell” is a completely made up bullshit phrase specific to the US that makes no sense outside of context

B: Without knowing about A its impossible to know whether them getting a “honorable discharge” is an improvement or not.
