New York: Some plan to re-enlist. Others want to turn to the fight for same-sex marriage. Still more will celebrate a triumph of civil rights. But for many of those kicked out of the U.S. military for serving while openly gay or being "outted" as gay, Wednesday's repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy means more than a political victory. They say it will strengthen the armed forces. The...
