It would be a major injustice if THAT was bargained away as part of some "deal".

1. I believe they have to re-enlist
They will not be forced to return.

2. I didn't think they'd ever be FORCED to re-enlist if they didn't want to.
It was more a question of whether they'd remain militarily blacklisted.

3. Everything I've read is that their dishonaorable discharges wiil be
removed upon signing this bill and they will have the opportunity to return to service if they choose.

4. Good.
Just wanted to make sure permanent proscription of the DADT dischargees wasn't another "brilliant compromise" that somebody threw in. You can understand why a person would wonder.

6. There's no reason they shouldn't be.
