#1 ...In fairness, Harvard and Yale both announced moves towards reestablishing ROTC within hours of the repeal. The trouble is that no matter how the school presidents feel (and FWIW, I think they really are willing to bring it back) the faculties and students will fight tooth and nail to resist. In the end then, this means nothing.

#2 Do not be surprise if the Harvard ROTC will be 'jam packed' with Gays. It will look like the Village people walking around campus.

#3 Given how well the Ivy League grads have run the nation and economy, I'd rather they NOT be in the military. I'd rather have grads from patriotic ethical institutions

#4 If you want to do ROTC at Harvard now, you take a ten minute Red Line trip down to MIT. I'd prefer they keep it that way because, if they bring it back, Drew Gilpin Faust is liable to break a few ribs patting herself on the back celebrating how enlightened she is. "See. We even support knuckle dragging neanderthals that want to serve in the military"...

#5 Since the proper way to protest DADT would have been to ban members of congress from campus, the left will have to find a new rationale just like in 1993. Probably for being insufficiently 'green' and causing global warming.

#6 [Clears throat]..but they didn't repeal Art 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, subsection of Title 10 U.S.C. They just opened another proverbial 'can of worms'.

#7 P2K, the UCMJ, like the Constitution, is just a living document to liberals. It can be ignored or enforced as needed.

In my opinion, the worst is to come - gays will demand special protected status, so that no one can say ANYTHING against them. Anyone who even yells at them or disciplines them for any reason will be up on charges of homophobia. I know that homophobia isn't in the UCMJ, but maybe Congress could substitute it for article 125.
