Study: Repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell had no negative impact on US military

The University Of California Los Angeles Palm Center released the study, the first academic study of its kind, on Monday.

DADT was repealed on 20 September 2011, amidst warnings that the US military would be aversely affected by the change.

According to the findings of the study, cohesion, recruitment, retention, violence and harassment, or morale were all unaffected by the repeal.

Some negative opinions were reported, but they were met with an equal number of positives, and no overall negative impact was seen.
