That's become such an amazingly lame cop-out answer at this point. Wow, where have I heard the whole, “I listen to my generals,” thing before?

Fortunately, Truman didn't ask, he just did what was right. McCain should take the lesson to heart.

He acts like he doesn't know what Barry Goldwater thought, and can't ask him since he's "no longer with us." Goldwater famously said of gays in the military, "I don't care if they are straight as long as they can shoot straight." So much for "straight" talk...

So much for “straight” talk…
