I have no idea how a person could get this far without knowing about DADT, but the idea was that it at least LET gays into the military. Technically, it's still illegal to be gay and in the armed forces. DADT basically said that nobody could screen for them. If someone is gay and makes an issue of it, they can be booted.
Frankly, it's a bad policy that we shouldn't need anymore, but with eleventy-billion percent of the armed forces being from the South and the Bible Belt, it's hard enough to deal with racism much less homophobia.
Of course, if the military can't re-educate their troops, they are a failure as a total institution.
