An appeals court has ruled the US military can temporarily reinstate a ban on openly gay people serving, in a move adding to disarray on the issue.
The decision came eight days after a judge struck down the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays serving openly.

Predictable though.
The military were always going to be a bit miffed at being told what to do by mere courts.

This was outside of that court's jurisdiction anyway. It should never have happened. It's an issue that needs to be resolved by Congress.
