If it became haute couture to claim fruity, the Armed Forces would pick up on it and eventually investigate. You should interview for a civilian job on a military site someday. They don't just look at your resume. They go through your life and past with a fine-toothed comb. If you threw up on stage while playing the Scarecrow in your sixth grade recital of The Wizard of Oz, they know about it. One or two phone calls to a relative or friend will quickly dispel the myth that you're unable to serve because you enjoy the taste of pillow.
Don't mess with Uncle Sam, especially the part of him that carries a rifle.
Well, if that's so, I don't see any problem with them rewriting the law that allows them to delve a little further, especially if it's to uncover the truth. DADT is a semi-hot button issue right now, so it could easily cross a Congressional desk and not even raise an ire.
This is also on my assumption that the "fake self-outing" is pretty rare, and that in the OPs scenario it becomes quite common.
I think it would not be to bad. I think allot of young people with nothing to do would get something out of it.
Serve your country, at gun point if necessary.
Not a bad idea, at all...I think it would not be to bad. I think allot of young people with nothing to do would get something out of it.

As far as DADT goes, I cannot see the problem.
The prospective recruit say " I am a homosexual"
The recruiter say " I did not hear you".
The man in the line repeats ...
the Recruiter repeats....
Next, the recruit is in the Army, doing KP and crying the blues.
tough and too dammed bad.
quite an interesting discussion what's "KP" though? kill points?
It could go either way, the chickenhawks who want war with Iran but of course dont have the spine to actually get in the sands will certainly use it to their advantage.

ahh cool, didn't know that
(wasn't sure just how new this DADT policy is)
Sounds like fascism to me.
??? at blackdog
now i'm just confused
A draft in itself is not fascism, although it could be one aspect of a fascist movement or government. It would be like saying "selling potato's is democracy!"
People throw around words like this to add weight or imply someone or something is so wrong it likes being a Nazi or fascist. It is to the point of stupid.
So I am pointing it out.
