People still think that. It's the official position of the Catholic Church and under DADT, you receive a Section 8 discharge, ie: not mentally sound for military service.
Eh... It's beyond me how anyone could seriously think that. I think it's just an attempt to legitimize their obvious ism. It's so ridiculous because it's really hard to do that in the first place.

It's pretty easy, actually.

Bolded part. Wouldn't that hold up with or without DADT in place? If admission is the limit of their investigations, DADT is pretty much the worst they can do - and if that's the case, writing it down as a rule can only fortify worst-case practise.
I see what you mean about it sort-of kind-of reassuring purposefully covert homosexuals in the military, but not making a dedication to prosecute something you have no power over anyway is really just saving face, and not particularly generous to the people that you're admitting you can't catch.
Then again, a lot of sucky rules got struck starting with that kind of pragmatism. Maybe 's'more of a turn towards the right direction than a full-blown step, but I do get what you're saying.
Not necessarily. Admission would not be the limit of an investigation without DADT, but the end-state. Believe me when I say that personal freedoms do not exist for us.
