Because "they only want to serve - it isn't about any sort of agenda for same sex partner benefits in the military. The repeal of DADT will never lead to any sort of sense of entitlement or push for legislation regarding dependent ID cards and the like" if I remember the argument correctly.
How long did THAT last...:rolleyes:
And then there is the "woman partner" at Bragg who just sued (and won) due to not being authorized membership to the Officer's Wives Club (seeing as how she is not recognized as a "wife" and doesn't have a dependent ID card...yet). The OWC was forced to offer her a "Special Category Guest Membership" until they had a chance to change their By Laws....:boohoo
