Apparently the Sky Won't Fall, If Openly Gay Troops Serve in the US Military

I stumbled across thiis quite by accident:

From Think Progress:
Why haven't I heard more about this!!

POLL: More Than 70% Of Iraq And Afghanistan Veterans Comfortable Serving Alongside Openly Gay Troops

It seems like our troops are a lot smarter than our Congress.  70%!  And of those surveyed 40+% identify themselves as Republicans. 

How will the right wing tap dance their way around this one?  Claim that the soldiers aren't REAL soldiers? Or that the identified Republicans aren't REAL Republicans?  Or perhaps they'll go with the ever popular assertion that the soldiers have been 'converted' or 'brainwashed' into accepting the 'homosexual agenda' (whatever the hell that is).

Ok, Congress if the troops don't care about their fellow soldiers' sexual orientation, what reason will you now come up with to refuse to repeal DADT?
