A Stitch in Haste

The British military is granting full and equal benefits, even housing, to gay military couples who enter into “civil partnerships” –

Gay servicemen and women who enter into civil partnerships are to be entitled to married quarters on military bases.

The so-called “gay marriages” will become legal on December 5 this year following the passage of the Civil Partnerships Act.
…
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said gay personnel in civil partnerships would be treated in the same way as married troops in terms of entitlements to allowances and benefits.

Remind me again how “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is all about morale and unit cohesion?

And remind me again how the United States military is supposedly the most modern in the world?
