That's why I would go back to a full ban because I do think homosexuality is incompatible with the requirements of military service. At least then we will be true to our moral beliefs and preserve the special character of our military. My point is we can't have it both ways and that's why I hate this compromise: it weakens the case for the continuation of traditional values in the most important institution in our country.

You’re right - there should be a full ban. I used to support DADT, back when it was a liberal position to hold. I thought questioning someone was too much like the Thought Police.

Now look where we are: Today DADT is called a rightwing policy, and now people want to serve openly. So, I see your point.

But, if not a full ban, I’d insist on keeping DADT, rather than allow people to serve openly.

Send them all to a single unit specifically made for them and make sure they are the first to the front lines ;)
