Regardless, people shouldn't have apologies demanded of them whenever they say that they support DADT. Sure, DADT might not be the best thing out there, but until it's repealed in '09 (You know it's gonna happen!), then gays can keep it to themselves. Your sexuality should be on a need-to-know basis, and one's fellow soldiers don't need to know!
