Remind me why this guy is called a maverick — all I see is a George Bush clone, only older:
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) claims that “military leaders†he’s talked to about the ban on gay servicemembers say, “‘Generally, overall, it’s working.’ … And right now we’ve got the best military we’ve ever had – the most professional, best trained, equipped and the bravest. And so I think it’s logical to leave this issue alone. I really do.†Currently, the U.S. Army’s readiness for war “has eroded to levels not witnessed by our country in decades,†and since Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell went into effect, the Pentagon has dismissed more than 11,000 servicemembers, many in key specialty skills such as training in Arabic.

McCain will crawl to any depth to get the support of the right-wing homophobes that call themselves “Christian”
If they want ALL gays out of the military, won’t that mean disinterring one helluva lot military graves in all the national cemeteries where the ones who were killed in action supporting the USA died?
