DADT was started, in my recollection, because they were asked and then, when answering honestly, were fired. It was created to protect the homosexuals in the military... like a stop gap measure. Unless I've missed something (which is entirely possible because I am, by no means, an expert on this topic), if it is taken away without a new policy being implemented, it is not really a good thing.
You're right @ bolded but the issue is about letting gays serve openly in the military so I'm sure that issue will be handled accordingly.

The steps are: Repeal DADT, Repeal/Amend the relevant USC, then the policy gets amended.

That's the point I was trying to make, revoking DADT is only half of it. Odds are they will revoke DADT and change the standing USC at the same time, the UCMJ will then need amending based on the the new USC but it's probably likely that even before the UCMJ would be amended that it would basically make those policies unenforceable.
