Less than 30% of military supports repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

While the news media is conducting poll after poll showing America’s supposed support for repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT), shouldn’t we really be wondering what the troops themselves think?

After all, when it comes to our national security, shouldn’t the opinion of the service member who faces life-and-death situations on a daily basis matter more than say a school teacher in Rhode Island? But Obama supports the repeal, therefore the military leadership has to come along.

A recent Military Times poll shows that only 29.5% of military members support the repeal of DADT. And over half say that military leaders, not the President, should be the deciding factor on the policy.
