If your point was valid, and it's not, then why bother repealing DADT? Every single argument I've eber heard in support of repealing DADT centered around the fact that openly gay folks can't serve. Remove that barrier, and please tell me why we won't see more gays enlisting. Please don't just say "no more gays will enlist", please tell me WHY more won't enlist.
