It doesn't have to make sense, but these are the constraints we've been given.

Yes, DADT sucks. Many things suck and life is unfair. But sometimes we have to deal with that suckage anyway, because that's the way it is.

You can work to change the suckage, but if that takes longer than the time you've got at hand, you have no choice but to deal with it.

If you want to dismantle and rebuild branches of the military such that they have an open policy and sexual preference isn't an issue, fine. But be aware that doing so takes said branch of the military off-line while the transition occurs.

The other option is to wait for and push for less invasive, incremental changes that in the long run will have the same effect. DADT was a beautiful step in this direction, even for all its flaws.
