More coverage of the sudden discovery that the military is discharging far fewer gays than before 2001:
Still, we're left with the original question itself: does the military suddenly discover that unit cohesion can survive the presence of gay soldiers perfectly well whenever they also discover a more urgent need for units? Do they stop enforcing their anti-gay policy when a war starts and their need for boots on the ground outweighs their need to placate social conservatives?
Once again Bush cynically uses the theocrats. Perhaps they deserve each other, but the rest of us don't deserve either of them. But it's clear that the oil-war agenda is the real agenda, and the religious right's agenda is just a useful tool.
