A sexual preference which, by definition, engages in the activity. Such was the mindset of the pre-DADT command structure.
Homosexuals were not allowed to serve openly prior to DADT. I fear that simply repealing DADT will not allow them to serve openly today.
It is my sincere hope that the command structure has evolved sufficiently to leave them the heck alone.
As to your second point, adultery, given evidence, is commonly used as a throw-away charge in spousal abuse cases and others. Kind of like gun charges in civilian courts.
