John Luddy. “The Military Gay Ban: Why Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Don’t Work”. Heritage Foundation, Executive Memorandum #359. July 1, 1993 – “Political activism elsewhere in society suggests that weakening the ban would be followed by quotas and lawsuits if homosexuals were not promoted in representative numbers. This would destroy the cohesion of a military unit, and erode the military’s successful merit-based promotion system.”
