I disagree. A hetero man kicked out under false DADT pretenses would be great news. I haven't seen anything like that. This is just another example of the pro-gay community pulling "IF"'s out of their ass.
Pun intended.



I was in the military. I'm well aware of the rules. At what point did I say that it WAS limited to gay relationships?

You didn't. But for your "if" to matter, you should show how falsely accusing someone of being homosexual is more damaging or possible that falsely accusing someone of any of the other rules that the military uses to control relationships between soldiers. You haven't.

I too was in the military.

Of the three examples that you cited, however, it would be EASIEST to screw up someone's military career with DADT. The fraternization rules and the adultery rules are MUCH less likely to result in discharge.

I disagree. Unless the person in question is a recluse, it would take more than a simple "hey that guy is gay" to get someone released from the service. In THIS case, it seems the woman WAS gay so unless you can come up with a case where this MIGHT have happened, your "more likely" and "easiest" are just pipedreams and not supported by anything real.

So, the IF still stands. IF someone was seeking to may another's life difficult, or put them in a bad position, the route of choice would be obvious. The DADT rules serve little purpose in today's military.
