Agreed, good for the Washington Times!

The enemedia will NOT report this, hopefully Fox News will.

I was one of the people selected to take the DoD survey, and I can tell you it is slanted towards giving a favorable view of gays in the military with slanted questions and no real opportunity to object to the repeal of DADT. The only opportunity I had to voice my objection and experience with gay service members was in a small text block.

In addition, the survey was sent to me by name and there was a specific code number attached to my response. I didn’t, therefore, have much confidence in my anonymity. I didn’t really give a damn, but I can see where people who hoped to gain positions of command would be reluctant to give their real point of view if they knew that some day they could be punished for their responses.

I’ve served with gays, and some were OK, but usually there was no way you could tell them apart from anyone else. For those more flamboyant, I found there was a high correlation of neuroticism which translated into very poor leadership.

Anyone who has ever been in the military and deployed into situations where everyone lives under stress and in very close quarters, with no opportunity for privacy or relief, and no way to just quit and walk away, realizes there is no realistic way to integrate openly gay people into this environment.

I’m not sure that they would considering they consider Shep Smith untouchable (not to mention O’Bozo and Juan Williams, rush to uphold gay “rights.”)
