1. The classic problem with Gays in the military

has always been that they are subject to blackmail and therefore a security risk. DADT does nothing to solve this problem. As is the case with most secrets, its power lies in its being a secret and very little else.

The answer to, "I'm gay" should be, "so what?"

2. Yes, that should be the answer.
