I for one won't put a feather in B's cap just yet, since he didn't demonstrate a consistent push on his commitment to that campaign promise.
It's all political. With gays allowed to openly serve, it will inspire an increase in gay recruits who will finally be able to serve openly and with the honor they always deserved, but were closeted and dishonored by bigotry as a matter of policy.
To imagine we're said to be a country with the greatest military in the world. While those that would then be considered countries with an inferior military in comparison, have for a great long time been more broadminded and fair than we have in matters of letting gay's serve openly.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
