Um... That's great. That's one section of the military policy that was changed by DADT, and large portions of it were already in effect (in one form or another) prior to DADT. Where's the "Dont ask" part of the law Joph?
OMG you totally got me th--- oh, wait. Try turning the page.

(d) SENSE OF CONGRESS- It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the suspension of questioning concerning homosexuality as part of the processing of individuals for accession into the Armed Forces under the interim policy of January 29, 1993, should be continued, but the Secretary of Defense may reinstate that questioning with such questions or such revised questions as he considers appropriate if the Secretary determines that it is necessary to do so in order to effectuate the policy set forth in section 654 of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a); and
(2) the Secretary of Defense should consider issuing guidance governing the circumstances under which members of the Armed Forces questioned about homosexuality for administrative purposes should be afforded warnings similar to the warnings under section 831(b) of title 10, United States Code (article 31(b) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice).
Bolding mine. I'm not sure it'll help you though.

Aren't you kinda missing something?
Someone to talk to who actually has a clue?
Ah, always good for the lulz. You'd think you'd cut your losses and give up but you keep coming back to trumpet your ignorance.

I'll point out again that it was already an offense to be engage in homosexual activities while serving in the military prior to the passage of DADT
Section 654 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 is what governed homosexuality in the military. That's it. That was the law of the land. It's not like pulling up carpeting where you remove the shag and say "Now the new floor is this tile laid in 1955! Oh, wait.. we pulled this up and now the new floor is this hardwood from 1940!" Do you really think this is the case? Seriously? There was no hardwood under the DADT policy in the 1993/94 bill -- that policy
was the law.
By all means, tell me
exactly which homosexuality-banning law we're now under once DADT is repealed. Give me chapter and verse here.

If they repealed DADT, we'd go back to the way the military code was prior to DADT
It's hilarious that you believe this is true. I've never known someone who was more convinced of how much he knew and who yet knew so very little.

. Ah well, hopefully it won't matter and this will be repealed.
