This policy is a security risk.
I disagree. The military has quite a bit of accountability. If someone wants to make a false claim that another is gay, they had better have a heck of a story. Anybody ever heard of a false accusation resulting in a discharge? If that were the case, it seems that it would make front page news. It seems all of the news reports are from actual homosexual people that are discharged. Your "blackmail" theory doesn't seem to hold water.
Fraternization and adultery accusations are based on the same mechanism. I'm sure there are investigations that verify the accusations before a discharge is in order.
This is my new signature.
