CNN ^ | Sep 12 2012 | Chris Boyette

...[T]he first academic study of the effects of repealing “don’t ask don’t tell” has found the repeal has had “no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment or morale.”

The study was published Monday by the Palm Center, a research branch of the Williams Institute at University of California Los Angeles Law School, which describes itself as “dedicated to conducting rigorous, independent research on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy.”

Even if the study is sound: 1. One still does not know what a study conducted 10 years in the future may find and

2. There is still a pervasive impact on the general national culture which may have its own ripple effects for years to come.

Whenever the results of a study are guaranteed before the study is even commissioned that study cannot be sound.

This government/media complex propagandizes the American people no less than did the soviets or the chicoms in their heyday.

Right: First of all, it is really too soon to tell how matters really now stand. Second, it is a truism that researchers create and conduct studies in such a manner as to get the results they are looking for.

In the ‘80s, there were many studies - now debunked - which showed divorce had no negative impact on kids. This will wind up the same, I am certain.

I heard that homosexual rapes in the military are skyrocketing.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

It is never a good idea for the military to allow bone smoking butt pirates to prance around in the open. Do you want a CO that is rump ranger? Part of leadership is respect.

Son of a gun, the media found a study that re-inforced the media’s desires.

Damn.

If they are, it will never be reported by the MSM.

Heard that too. Future counter-studies may tell a different tale.
