The DoD already had their minds made up that they wanted to repeal DADT, if 100% of the service members would have said they were against DADT, the repeal would have happened anyway with some lame excuse and justification and its like that for every decision that comes down the pipes.
Thats what I figured, this repeal would have happened even if 100% of the Military said they were against it. Most Military members back in the day rejected integration and the Military did it anyways.
Dude integration and DADT two separate things, blacks were allowed to openly serve because we obviously can't covertly serve and say we're something else. Gays wanted the right to say they're openly gay for what? Openly saying you're gay is not the same as integrating.
I know integration and DADT are not the same I was just making the point that most Military members did not want integration and the Military still went and did it, the Military will do what it needs to regardless of opinion.
