Granting benefits will surely serve that goal. Those queer “spouses” will all get medical benefits and their AIDS and HIV will be taken care of forever. HIV/AIDS will become a major military expense and start to displace spending for things like arms and stuff.
If, however, queers can dodge the Obamacare sanctions by serving a few years in the military, they're home free. They know the military expenditures for medical care are going to be a lot more difficult to cut and are going to be exempt from the same regulations as others governed by.
The democrat fascists were positive that having an all volunteer military wouldn't work. They just knew that people didn't really want to serve and defend their nation so having an all volunteer military would lead to ever shrinking forces no matter what we needed or sought. They also were sure that the quality of the force would decline.
Go back and read some of what passed for "deep thoughts" on the fascist side of the isle in the seventies and you'll see what I mean. Ever since the volunteer military has proved to be a success, they've tried again and again to find ways to undermine the military, reduce the number of people who will be attracted to service, dictate lower quality volunteers be accepted, and everything else they can think of to make our military less capable. This is just another of their assaults on the military with that same goal as the real motive, not the "equality" of opportunity they harp on.
