The AP takes a look at some of the results of a Pentagon survey on servicemembers’ views about gays in the military:
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 survey, part of a review of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy that’s due Dec. 1, was sent to 400,000 troops and 150,000 family members.
The Obama administration has promised to repeal the policy, which forbids gay servicemembers from revealing their sexual orientation, by the end of the year, while at the same time fighting a court ruling that found DADT unconstitutional.
