Most Recruits Don't Object to Gays in Military
Stars and Stripes | Jeff Schogol | October 13, 2005
ARLINGTON, Va. - A majority of potential military recruits would not
object to serving alongside openly gay servicemembers, according to a
recent survey by the Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the
Military.
The group, a research unit of the University of California, Santa
Barbara, reported that 76 percent of survey respondents said lifting
the Defense Department's ban on homosexuals serving openly in the
military would have "no effect" on their decision to enlist. Two
percent said it would increase their likelihood to enlist, and another
21 percent said it would discourage them from enlisting.
Those surveyed, 282 people total, were all between 18 and 24 years old,
mostly male, 53 percent Republican and 30 percent independent -
demographics targeted to mirror people most likely to join the
military, said Aaron Belkin, director of the center.
He admitted that surveying mostly conservative people may have skewed
the results, but he defended the decision.
"If we had done a random sample, we would have found more people
saying that they'd join the military if the ban is lifted, and fewer
saying that they would be less likely to join post-repeal," Belkin
wrote in an e-mail.
The survey is one of six polls in the last two-and-a-half years that
have found that between 58 and 79 percent of the public believe gays
should be allowed to serve openly in the military, according to the
Center.
Belkin, a political science professor at the school, said the group has
no stance on the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
The Center's stated mission is to "promote the study of gays,
lesbians, and other sexual minorities in the armed forces."
Defense Department spokeswoman Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke declined direct
comment on the survey, but she noted the "Don't Ask, Don't
Tell" policy was enacted after "extensive hearings and debate"
among lawmakers in 1993.
"The law would need to be changed to affect the department's
policy," she said.
Two gay and lesbian rights advocacy groups - Servicemembers Legal
Defense Network and Log Cabin Republicans - have filed lawsuits in
recent years to overturn the policy against openly gay servicemembers.
Steve Ralls, of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, said the
recent survey undermines a fundamental tenant of "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" by showing that allowing gays to serve openly would not
hurt recruiting.
"It is further evidence that the doom and gloom prophecies of those
who oppose allowing gays to serve openly are baseless and without
merit," Ralls said.
Chris Baron, spokesman for the Log Cabin Republicans, said removing
openly gay servicemembers from critical positions while the United
States is at war with terrorism poses a danger to national security.
He said other countries, such as Israel, allow gays and lesbians to
serve openly in the military.
"I think very few people would make the argument that morale is a
problem in the Israeli army," Baron said.

That's because it gives them easy shooting practice.

have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their

The US paid enough on 9/11 for having a different invisible friend to the
Muslims.

Keith will not like you saying that. Maybe you should run for cover. Our

That chapter also tells you to not to wear clothing made of
two kinds of fabric and the proper way to kill people who
don't observe the sabbath. You're not picking and choosing
what to follow, are you?

Not to mention, it's as bad to touch a football as it is to touch your
fellow football player.

The article noted that it's completely biased. They tried to mitigate
the fact by mentioning it. }:-} Better than getting caught later in
an obvious lie.
