They want to use the armed forces to push their agenda off onto the rest of the country. Stop or minimize enforcement of DADT to make homosexuality more acceptable. Then the next time that civil unions or gay marriage comes up, then they point at the military. They want to use the military as a wedge.
Look for G&L “quotas” in military promotions. Perhaps discrimination lawsuits for whatever for G or L servicemembers. He might be able to order PX/BX/NEX to have GLT observance month or something similar.
I agree and IMHO, here is why:
Remember the movie: "Miracle On 34th Street"??
Santa needed to prove he was "real". The letters sent to him by the USPS were used as the arguement that a branch of the gov't recognizes Santa, therefore Santa is "legitimate" and recognized as such in the eyes of the US gov't.
Once the US military accepts and "recognizes" gays as "legitimate", it becomes game, set, match, NATIONALLY with all the rights afforded "straight" folks and the courts will HAVE TO AGREE.
