21. The study is supposed to be finished in December
But the survey was deeply flawed and badly homophobic, and included asking the opinions of people who aren't even serving like spouses. Imho, regardless of what the survey results are it won't make a difference. Congressional Rethugs will never repeal DADT if even 10% of our current service members are opposed (and there are at least that many high ranking generals that also oppose its repeal) because of the possible "loss of unit cohesion and combat readiness during 2 wars".

It's pretty well dead. Since a repeal attempt was already shot down earlier this year, it's ridiculous to think the results will be different now.
