Like I stated over and ****ing over and ****ing over to you and the rest.....DADT is a civilian sin. The numbers forced out rose dramatically when civilians forced us to look at the gays in the military with certain outcome. Until DADT, the military was naturally beginning to simply look the other way. It was looked down upon and expected to fly under the radar until the Clinton administration forced gays into the spotlight throughout the military and forced administrative action. We simply followed your policies...."boss."
DADT was the compromise struck because the military couldn't stand the thought of gays being allowed to serve openly. Because you guys weren't professional enough to handle it.
You can justify that and rationalize that and dismiss that all you want, it just means that you are incapable of admitting that you as an organization aren't professional enough to look past someone's sexual orientation and see the soldier underneath.
