How did a statistician like Gary Gate dream up a number like 25 ? (1.25 percent)If only 5 percent of soldiers were gay, then the fatalities wouldn’t be 25 but 100. If 10 percent of soldiers were gay the number would be 200 of the 2000 killed.Once again we’re supposed to buy into the myth that the “10 percent” number is too high.It seems the “don’t ask; don’t tell” policy is working. They’ve even convinced the gay community there are fewer gay soldiers than there really are.dave,hamilton, ontario, canada
