There is of course a justification for "discrimination" if it affects the ability to maintain a viable all voluntary military. President Truman did not have to concern himself with this as there was a mandatory draft in his time. A repeal of DADT will definitely have an adverse affect...and only time will tell how severe the affect will be. I suspect that it will be a relatively minor and short term...and a worse case scenario would be the draft would have to be reinstated.
