I agree. I have never said otherwise.
And it is a hypocrisy to think that the UCMJ has ever actively sought out the adulterous or heterosexual men and women who did perform anal sex. The gay in service to this country have always been targeted for discharge status. And who is to say how many, if left to serve this nation in military service would have shown us great heroic and patriotic actions! You take away from our own good by prejudice.

I agree the rules are discrimatory. That's why they were repealed in civilian life. I didn't say I agreed with them. I understand that gays have been in the service, but the service by nature of the beast would have been just as good without them if they had "come out" and gotten discharged. There are very few jobs in the service that can't be done just as well by "the next guy". Why would anyone join the service in the first place if they feel that strongly about their "orientation"? It would be like a homosexual man trying to give blood at the Red Cross.
We have a real life DADT for a lot of things in civilian life. When a man gets married, he knows he still wants to screw every woman that he passes. There's DADT. A necrophiliac can't profess his love for the corpse at a funeral. A pedo can't practice his "orientation" openly(any more). So even though the sodomy rule in the military is on the surface wrong, to promote order, it can be seen as a tool to discharge a person who against such. As in the civilian world, "sodomy" includes other acts beyond homosexual ones.
On the other hand, a man who commits adultery with a woman, left to serve this country has already shown himself to be unfaithful. Isn't infidelity a dangerous trait in a soldier?

Adultry is punishable under the UCMJ. And people were punished for it when I was in the Marines. It happens if it is found out. It's also pretty much another DADT offense.
