2. I'm pretty sure he doesn't approve of women in the military anyway,

since they make men want to rape them, which of course upsets unit cohesiveness.

4. Why isn't he worried about unit cohesiveness NOW?

Only somebody as naive as Admiral Johnson (who?) apparently doesn't realize that DADT recognizes that gays and lesbians are ALREADY serving in the military, they just can't reveal they're sexual orientation status. Members of the armed forces are already bunking, showering, fighting, and doing everything else they do WITH gays and lesbians without any significant problems in regards to unit cohesiveness, so WTF is the good Admiral talking about? Are people like him seriously suggesting that unit cohesion is going to suddenly unravel just because if (when) DADT is repealed, straight service members are suddenly going to KNOW which fellow service members are gay and lesbian? Would anybody care to explain how that might work?
:wtf:

7. Anybody who will "unravel" the minute they find out somebody they know is gay or lesbian

ALREADY has "issues" IMHO.

8. Brings to mind G.Carlin's bit on the phallic nature of war, and the insecure men who thrive in it
