Half of U.S. Forces Have Received Post-DADT Training

Posted on 16 June 2011

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Military officials say that over one million members of the U.S. armed forces have completed training on the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” This means that more than half the troops have completed their training.

So far, there has been none of the turmoil or consequences predicted by the opponents of the repeal of DADT. During the debate over repealing DADT, opponents said that dropping the ban of gays and lesbians serving in the military would cause resistance, cause enlisted members to quit the military early and a drop in recruiting.

One army general has referred to the training as having been a “non-event” and that the military is doing everything they can do to head off problems in training.
