As ‘Don’t Ask’ Fades, MilitaryFaces Thorny Practical Issues

The possible repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy presents the Pentagon with a new challenge: how to transition to a force where homosexuals serve openly

As ‘Don’t Ask’ Fades, Military Faces Thorny Practical Issues

It's a pretty straightforward situation. Look at the military force of other countries that already have gay people serving openly. That should provide enough information if and what kind of adjustments need to be made. (And obviously, homosexual servicemen and their partners should be afforded the same rights as heterosexual ones and be treated the same way.). Secondly, history is pretty clear on this as well: a few decades back this was about race. There is absolutely no doubt that at some point homosexual individuals will be equal to heterosexuals (as they should be), whether this concerns military or civilian life. Being in denial about this won't change the course of history. It seems to me what the military might have to do is some bigotry training, since some people appear to be rather close-minded.

To say the least.
