You make my point: exclude them from the military! The DADT policy is an admission that we don't want to get rid of them but we're too cowardly to recognize them as full American citizens. I don't like hypocrisy and my belief has always been either we uphold traditional values or the military joins the mainstream in accepting gays as part of American life.

Under either the old no homosexual or the “don’t ask, don’t tell,” homosexuals have been in hiding in the military.

Even under the old policy, there was no hunt to find out who was or wasn’t. It has always been that when a homosexual soldier was IDd that he would then be ushered out of service.

They hid then. They hide now. When found they’re put out. Really, it is no different.
