The old way was: If you're queer, you're too crazy to serve. Kicked out. Along came CinC "Slick Willie" Clinton, and the rule changed to "Don't ask, don't tell." The press and queer lovers everywhere are crowing today about the "REPEAL OF DON'T ASK DON'T TELL." The problem is, it didn't happen; that only goes to show how *ahem* intelligent these people are.
If it were repealed, DADT would revert to Queer = Discharge. Instead, the reporting seems to imply that now "gay is okay" and that's hardly the same thing.
Words mean things. How about we insist on proper use of them.

This is off the cuff. The queer lovers could be in for a nasty surprise and it could be a straight repeal. I don't know. I care so much about the subject I haven't done the first bit of research into it.
