Pentagon: Little Impact in Repealing "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell"
------------------------------------------------------------



An internal Pentagon review has concluded that repealing the ban on
openly gay and lesbian servicemembers would have a minimal effect on
U.S. war efforts. According to the Washington Post, more than 70 percent
of respondents in a survey of active-duty and reserve troops reported
having no opposition to a repeal. President Obama has said he won’t push
for a repeal vote in Congress until the review is submitted on December
1st.
