From the Palm Center’s “One Year Out: An Assessment of DADT Repeal’s Impact on Military Readiness”:

“Our conclusion, based on all of the evidence available to us, is that DADT repeal has had no overall negative impact on military readiness or its component dimensions, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment or morale.

If anything, DADT repeal appears to have enhanced the military’s ability to pursue its mission.”
