There is no valid reason in dealing with military readiness, combat effectiveness, or unit cohesion to repeal DADT.
There isnt and never will be any argument that states: The US Military will be BETTER, IMPROVED, STRONGER, or more EFFICIENT because a homosexual can now serve OPENLY.
There are valid arguments that deal with the negative effects of allowing openly gay individuals serve within small units, especially those that are tasked with actual combat operations.
This entire action on behalf of such a small minority of the population AND the military, that ALREADY had the ability to serve honorably was done to make a few politicians happy in terms of fundraising, and a few activists happy WHO WILL NEVER SERVE ANYWAY.
I dont know why some of you think that anything has been improved or any problem solved. This was just a special interest gift of which there will only be additional costs to EVERYONE and additional problems to the military (which is hardly anyone here).
Bravo...
