“Some Republicans have suggested they fear troops who openly oppose gay service would be punished for speaking out.”

There is almost no objection to DADT with which you can’t take out “gay” and substitute “black” and not have a perfect replica of the arguments about the racial integration of the armed forces. Unit cohesion, good order, etc… All the same stuff.
