The mere act of booting gay soldiers apparently doesn't count as unconstitutional. [POQ]

I'm so tired of hearing about DADT. Damn it, if soldiers don't like the rules of the military then don't sign up or get out. I can't set the rules that my employer imposes on the workplace; why should soldiers be any different??? Just a thought…….
