Not the "it won't hurt" (19%) or "it will help" (11%) responses-- I'm talking about the DADT survey-- I mean that 20% of those never in combat would risk their careers like that. Even the "both good and bad" (26%) is a pretty big risk.
We all know it will be shoved down our throats.
We all know that the activists will go after the names of those who responded negatively.
We know they will be attacked.
I'm shocked that as many as "nearly 30%" responded to the survey at all, come to that, but double-shocked that more folks responded "it will be bad" than "it will be good."

....and Bradley Manning is teh ghe? Kinda wish he'd have been discharged, don't you?
Rather.
I'd suggest that a majority of the military are reluctant about going on record regarding personal opinions of DADT, or anything else for that matter.
My experience was that you avoided trouble by keeping your opinions to yourself.
And that anything where you were assured you were 100% safe from any retribution was very likely to result in direct retribution.
I was never in the military, but that's exactly how I'd expect things to be ... for, it is, at heart, a bureaucracy.
