#1 Don't forget joint domicile.

Wait till all the straights go get the piece of paper just to get out of the barracks. When did you notice you lost control?

They can put an end to all this by recognizing that the government is about to break their contracts with everyone else since they are fundamentally altering the terms of service. If the point is the human rights and dignity of gays, then that point equally applies to straights who signed those contracts. Of course, its not about rights, its about power. That's why the military won't allow straights out of their contracts when the government alters it. Put the following into any legislation altering the conditions of service -

"Any service member, enlisted, warrant or commission will have the right for one year after the implementation of this change to submit a request for release from service. Said servicemember must be separated from the service within 90s with no holds or delays regardless of operational requirements. Any detention or delay of such servicemember beyond 90 days meets the criteria of kidnapping in accordance with existing federal laws. There will be no waivers. The servicemember will be returned to his or her point of entry on active duty or home of record. The servicemember will be released from all further contractual obligations and based upon exiting condition of service at time of submission of request will retain any and all benefits and entitlement afforded by the Veterans Administration."

They won't do it. And as such puts a lie to the precept that its about individual rights and dignity and that it won't effect operational effectiveness.
