DADT is dead #5

A leak from the military's survey of troops' attitudes about repealing DADT shows an overall positive response !!

As described in an interview with Rachel Madow, the NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent described the aggregate response to a number of questions as being of four types:

1. It's no big deal.
2. I'm a little uncomfortable, but I'll talk with the individual directly about it.
3. I'm a little uncomfortable, but I'll talk with someone in the chain of command about it.
4. I hate it.

#1 and #2 are considered positive responses. Combined, they constituted a majority of those surveyed.

Another finding was that it matters how the superior officers handle it; those who are uncomfortable will follow orders and will accept it if presented as what is expected.

These are only part of two large surveys, but they seem the most significant parts of it, in terms of going forward with repeal.

Take THAT, John McCain !!! Now stop grandstanding -- ok, you can wait until after the election in four days.
