The defense of DADT policy is weak at best and bigoted at worst both plainly evident in the posts above (no pun intended). Societal norms have changed dramatically over the last two decades.  Personally, I think its a sad commentary of present and past leaders in our armed forces that we cannot credit young professional soldiers with a level of tolerance that we ourselves cannot display.  

Coincidentally, I strongly believe that the same people pushing the anti gay, anti DADT opinion in our military are the same officers that overtly push their Christian values on their command, wanted or not.  I know I served under several "Holy Rollers" and their blatant attempt to espouse their religious views to the troops created a command climate difficult to manage at the junior officer level.  

Im glad that DADT is over.  I have no concern that the soldiers will by and large welcome and accept their gay peers into the ranks. There will always be outliers, but choosing the harder right over the easier wrong is one of the life long lessons I was taught at USMA and I am glad to see it is practice today.
