Is DADT a bigger deal to politicos than it is to those who actually serve?

I'm in the military and don't have a problem serving with gays. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm in the majority. A lot of the guys think it would be uncomfortable and it would be a distraction. While DADT was a good solution, I don't feel it's constitutional. The men threw a fit when women became a part of the military, but they have adapted. I think the same will happen in this case. For me personally, I think DADT is discriminatory and should be repealed. The main reason military personnel quit is to make significantly more money as a contractor doing the same job. Perhaps politicians should address that instead.
