Pressure is mounting for the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell', the law which bans gays from serving openly in the military.

A poll conducted by the University of California at Santa Barbara and released Monday shows that only 21 percent of young conservative males who were potential recruits said they would be “less likely” to join the armed forces if the ban were repealed. Two percent of respondents said they were “more likely” to join while the vast majority - 77% - said allowing gays to serve openly would have no impact on their decision to enlist.

The poll would seem to disprove the Pentagon's contention that if the law were repealed moral and military cohesion would suffer.

2. these assholes are lower than scum ...the crap they come up with

should cease to amaze me but I am still shocked. So gays are ok to die for this country but not exist in real time?? Jeezus...

3. I have a hard time believing that any young conservative males

are potential recruits. Most of them are too chickenshit to sign up and want some poor schlub with no other career choices to go in their place.

5. I don't believe that...

I don't believe that 21 percent would be less likely to join.

I think that they just SAID they would be less likely because they're orniary gay haters.

6. Not surprising for two reasons

1) It was Bill Clinton's policy.

2) They are having problems meeting recruiting goals.

Edited to add: And they know damn well it won't be a problem.
