“Our men need to know they can count on each other in battle, and we can’t have them getting distracted by illicit romantic dalliances. Especially if one’s a little blond Adonis farm boy and his buddy’s a real tough street kid straight out of Brooklyn.

James T. Conway, commandant of the Marine Corps.
Yes, it’s a fake quote from the Onion, but this still seems to reflect the military’s real attitude about repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
