Joseph Heller couldn't write this stuff... Catch-22's wildest and most vividly lunatic moments aren't any more insane than our government and our society's homophobia and public wrestling with discrimination and bias.

Congress passes Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It survives a Republican administration. We elect a President who promises to end it. The court issues an injunction ending it. That President's administration files a motion to stay the injunction and reinstate DADT. Then the Pentagon says it's going to comply with the injunction and end DADT, but issues a memo telling gays not to share their sexual orientation, because who knows what will happen if the injunction is halted.
So, it's essentially the end of DADT, but back into the closet.
