7. It was a compromise, and it wasn't really a bad one, revisionist history notwithstanding.

Had Gore taken his rightful role as President, DADT would have gone the way of the DoDo NLT 2005. Probably the January after his reelection, is my guess.

Anyone who doesn't see the political considerations there is obtuse, of course. There likely would have been a period of "non enforcement" prior to the change-over.

The implementation documents are drafted, and stuffed in a file cabinet somewhere at the Nut House, if they weren't tossed by the rabid righties.
