Study finds repealing gay ban won't hurt war effort

Lifting the ban on openly gay and lesbian troops entails little risk of damaging ongoing U.S. military operations, according to sources familiar with the results of a massive Pentagon survey about the issue. Almost three-quarters of those surveyed -- including hundreds of thousands of active-duty and reserve troops -- said repealing "Don't ask, don't tell" would have positive, mixed or no effects on the military. A draft report about the results, said to be about 370 pages in length, is circulating among top Pentagon officials.
