This idea has come up a lot on this thread. The problem with it is that we already have gays in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. One stationed in Iraq even asked a question at the GOP debate the other night.
The idea that gays will simply turn sissy and run away from the rigors of the military is not one we should hang all our hope on. There are better hopes than that.
This is a case where "a few bad apples will spoil the whole bunch". Yes, there are gays who can excel as soldiers, under the discipline of DADT - but openly gay? No way.
