I'm not even asking to be funny, like I seriously want to know what some of this "great damage" would be?
Feel free to share. I am really curious.

The "great damage" I can see are the homophobes who would assault the gays. There were A LOT of these close-minded folks when I served. We knew who the gay people were but they weren't flamboyant or in our faces about it. And because of DADT, those folks never actually "confirmed" that they were.
I'm glad this got repealed, but I hope the military is ready to punish the close-minded jerks who may try attack the gays.
Also, to play devils advocate, another "great damage" would be the morale of being able to trust your fellow service members with your life. Though I personally don't see any difference if they are serving openly because they are the same people as before, but you do have to be able to trust your life in the hands of those you work with.
