Unfriendly Fire

Unfriendly Fire: How the Gay Ban Undermines the Military and Weakens America'' is an American 2009 political book by Nathaniel Frank that argues that the "
Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy banning openly
gay servicemen and women from the
United States armed forces weakened military and national security. According to Frank, 12,000 people — 800 of whom had previously been deemed "mission critical" by the
U.S. government — were discharged from the military between 1993 and 2008, based on policies that Frank describes as "rooted in denial, and deception, and repression."
