How is it that Republican Sen. John McCain seems to be wrong about nearly everything? McCain has found yet another reason to stop the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT). McCain has a habit of voicing an objection at ever hearing when DADT has been discussed. Here is another example of McCain's latest from the
SunHerald:
....In tense exchanges with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, McCain and other Republicans dismissed a Pentagon study on gays as biased and said objections by combat troops were being ignored.........
...Gates shot back that asking troops if they want to serve alongside gays would amount to issuing a referendum on a policy decision that should be made by Congress or the courts. The goal of the study, he said, was to find out it if it could be done without hurting the military's ability to fight.
"Are you going to ask them if they want 15-month tours? You going to ask them if they want to be part of the surge in Iraq? That's not the way our civilian-led military has ever worked in our entire history," Gates said....
McCain's bias
is really sickening. Gays have served and continue to serve in the military. McCain is wrong to block the repeal of DADT.
