Unfortunately repeal of this law is going to effect military recruitment as well as unit cohesion and strict military disipline. Most if not all of the majority of the people that favor repealing this law have never served in the military and do not understand that the military is not a Democracy and that, is how it should be.
Trying to make the military accept Homosexuality as a normal life style is a recipe for disaster and a violation of the [sprit de corps] that keeps America safe.

Report thisWhy on earth do you reprint this arrant nonsense? The bill only aims at repealing DADT but does nothing to change the Uniform Code of Military Justice, a. k. a. USC 10 G 654. As long as that is not repealed the repeal of DADT is actually dangerous because it restores: superior can ask and soldier must answer.
