I still believe there is a UCMJ problem that was not talked about up to now. The Congress has to amend the UCMJ to remove the crime of sodomy. I know some here disagreed saying the military could unilaterally change to UCMJ but they can’t. The Congress has that power not the Joint Chiefs.
The non-fraternization sections have to be removed as well.

... so as to allow unfettered corruption and exploitation in the military?

I don't think so.

The DoD has no current plans to rewrite the UCMJ, specifically Article 125 for Sodomy. The Supreme Court has “decriminalized” certain provisions of that charge so it doesn’t apply anymore. The fraternization policy contained in AR 600-20 has always been “gender neutral.”
