The majority of the military said. "Meh"
The responses to the military polling of its people shows a majority have no problems or concerns about gays in the military. This will probably cause great dismay amongst the hard asses.
An internal Pentagon study has found that most U.S. troops and their families don't care whether gays are allowed to serve openly and think the policy of "don't ask, don't tell" could be done away with, according to officials familiar with its findings.The heart of the military is unit cohesion. The minority than won't accept gays are a danger to unit cohesion and should be invited to get the fuck out of the military.
The survey results were expected to be used by gay rights advocates to bolster their argument that the 1993 law on gays could be repealed immediately with little harm done to the military. But the survey also was expected to reveal challenges the services could face in overturning the long-held policy, including overcoming fierce opposition in some parts of the military even if they represent a minority.
