Actually they didn't ask back during the Vietnam War, when I enlisted.
Most of the homo or bisexuals who were put out during the period fro m the Vietnam War to DADT, were found out when they were accused of being a homosexual by another service member, and were then asked directly, they could either deny it and maybe get away with it or confirm it and be discharged. Some were caught engaging in homosexual acts and were similarly discharged.
