"These separated members..."
I find this "policy revision" by the DOD as nauseating as it is sad. "You can't serve in the military because you're, you know, that way...but we encourage you to do important things here at home for the nation you were willing to die for but that said in return 'No thanks, faggot.'" I'll take hypocrisy for $1000 Alex.

From the article it looks like the military may have actually wised up and that it's Congress who is, as usual, chickenshit - "Post-September 11th, however, there was a noticeable shift in the Department of Defense's position regarding the ban. Pentagon public affairs no longer made a 'necessity argument,' and no longer pointed to any support for the law among its command or the rank-and-file. Instead, the debate over 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' became one the Pentagon deferred to Congress to settle. Congress, the Pentagon correctly pointed out, has full authority to debate the law and, if they see fit, repeal it. With this new statement, DoD has taken an even more significant step forward. Now, Congress should repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and welcome every American who wants to serve, regardless of sexual orientation.”
