Ultimately, arguing for the right to be openly homosexual, that is, to make one’s sexual preferences in the bedroom known to the world, is an exercise in self-centeredness. To enshrine this as a right within an organization that depends, for its members very survival and its own ability to fulfill its mission, on the sacrifice of the individual for the good of whole is ultimately self-defeating. DADT is the proper policy. We are now going to substitute one extreme of policy for the other (i.e. the old, old one), and probably far more demoralizing and destructive, one. How sad. The Obama administration, with its chief purpose being, manifestly, “community organizing” (community balkanizing) rather than governing for the good of the people and with the consent of the people, is a poison in the body politic of these United States cannot long afford.
I disagree that DADT was better than "ask and out the door if answer is wrong". I've heard from many current and former military that any homosexuals at all are destructive, "out", "Not out", under DADT or before it. Mentally ill sex perverts do NOT belong in the military at all.
