Concept explainers
The stated intent of the 1994 "don't ask, don't tell" policy was to reduce the number of discharges of gay men and lesbians from the military. Nearly 14,000 active-duty gay service members were dismissed under the policy, which officially ended in 2011, after 18 years. The line graph shows the number of discharges under "don't ask, don't tell" from 1994 through 2010. Use the data displayed by the graph to solve Exercises 27-28.
