Pentagon's gay support

US Gay

Pentagon said the fighting ability is almost nothing to do with whether a member of the military openly declare themselves as gay.

The review also found that most members do not mind working with military personnel who openly declare themselves as homosexuals.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates urged Congress to lift the ban, but he also said the military must do the best preparation before the new policy is applied.

The regulation states that force to same-sex sexual orientation should cover this.

The report was ordered by Gates declared the revocation would affect the "whole units", allowances, housing and training.

This study supports the view of opponents of the policy of "do not ask, do not tell" who claimed the U.S. military can adapt in a gay colleague.

The survey was followed by 115 thousand U.S. military personnel and 44 thousand pairs of military personnel.

The review found 70% of respondents who answered the question stating the presence of members who openly declare themselves as gay or lesbian will take effect "positive, diverse or nothing there at all" on the ability of units in the "do work".
