Just because the military has their own set of laws (Uniformed Code of Military Justice), does not mean that they can skirt federal law. The DOMA act, in part, had effectively barred same-sex married couples from being recognized as "spouses" for purposes of federal laws, or receiving federal marriage benefits. Since the military is a federal entity, they had to follow federal law. Housing allowances, benefits, everything monetary and otherwise that the military provides for married couples is federally funded.
