Which is why Stossel, in a remarkably weasely fashion, cites the study that says 71% of troops would still remain in the service if the policy changed.
He tries to trick his reader into thinking that soldiers who oppose any change in policy - but who do not want to throw away their careers - are somehow supporters of a change in policy.
The fact is the vast majority oppose it, and one out of every three in service would leave the armed forces if the policy changed - they feel that strongly about it.
We're supposed to believe losing 29% of military personnel wouldn't be a problem?
Apparently, Stossel doesn't understand that many don't want to undress, shower, bunk with or share a foxhole with someone that might have a sexual attraction to them.
