Because DADT works so well...

If you are like the president and think DADT works, or rather it would with some amount of adjustment (read: no repeal), here's some proof for you (compliments of the Palm Center at UC Santa Barbara):

Australia
Austria
Belgium
Britain
Canada
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland
Israel
Italy
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Slovenia
South Africa
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Uruguay

actually, these are states where there is no DADT because people serve openly. Sorry. And wow, look at how many of those were Allies to the recent military actions in Iraq, Afghanistan, other various unnamed places, etc. Amazing... I guess Obama is right, we do need DADT. I mean, if South Africa with its Apartheid past or Spain with its Machismo culture can figure out a way to make it work... I can see the point to his argument about our military. Amazing...
