AJM,
I am not trying to antagonize you, but honestly I don't get the fervor of your position. This is a recruitment/retention tool just like flight pay, jump pay, and bonuses. Fliers don't resent those who got their 6 figure bonus. Enlisted don't resent their peers who got their re-up bonuses either. They are all mature enough to get this was business from the perspective of wooing them to stay.
SA members cannot be married, and to say they have had a smooth transition, thus all will be well IMPO is bunk. Picture of the couple is great, come back to me when the military because of the govt. does not recognize the marriage
Their ability to marry and have every right the heterosexual members enjoy will be the final test.
JMPO, but anyone who believes that a homosexual couple from a state like NJ (civil union), will not sue for the same privileges as a couple from MD is playing ostrich in the sand.
The smooth transition will be AD life.
