But that doesn't make sense since there are gay people serving right now (oh and straight men and women serving together) they're just forced to LIE. A lot. All DADT does is make gay men and women break the honor codes they swear to uphold.
Women have served in combat, even though they're technically not supposed to, and have fought, saved lives and died with honor all without being a "distraction" to the men.
And you'll never stop humans from having
any sexual feelings (fraternization happens all the time) but if all someone can think about while being shot at is that the guy behind him/her might be gay, then s/he's the one with the serious problem.
