The US Military was de-segregated by Harry Truman in 1948. The Military led the nation by almost 20 years in that. The Military has complied with the various policies set down re Homosexuals serving. The USMC which had the most resistance to the ending of DADT is leading the services in adopting the new policy. I would suggest your comments show a complete misunderstanding of both our history and the way in which our Miltary adapts to change.
Good stuff!

That's one biased version from one side of the political divide. There is plenty from the other side as well.
None of which detracts from the OP's right to criticise. The same point has been made in the UK about the hypocrisy of encouraging uniformed military participation in Gay Pride events. It isnt (necessarily) a homophobic point of view. The OP's drafting might have made this clearer.
