I believe it is quite ignorant for anyone to believe that the military, Congress, or whoever the heck it takes to repeal DADT would not also include any other military rules that would keep gays from serving from being repealed as well. The whole point of removing DADT is so that gays will be able to serve in the military openly. Most of the military rules have already been changed to accomodate this. The only real rule that only affects gays, from what I know, is DADT. Even sodomy rules could technically stay in place, since the military would actually have to prove sodomy occurred and the punishments would have to be equivalent to those that would be received by a heterosexual engaging in the same act(s). Sexuality would also have to be included in the tolerance and equal opportunity trainings. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that these are a few of the things that they are looking into in the study.
Do you have any evidence that that's the case? I haven't seen it.
