#1 Well, the first one didn't make it, so -

It's the law that the policy implements. I don't think Congress is in the mood at the moment to antagonize even more of the electorate. Particularly after the behaviors following the recent plebiscite in CA, which made more enemies than friends of the usual suspects. Those same usual suspects in the narrow mined approach to reality wouldn't mind the military disobeying the law in this instance. That's the problem historically when the military starts disobeying law. Don't remove the leash if you don't want to be bitten.
