McCain says gay troops are an 'intolerable risk'

BREAKING! Ha ha, just kidding we already knew this, but it's still pathetic, and sad nonetheless! John McCain, now serving his 239th term in the U.S. Senate, is completely nuts! Via The Advocate:

Gay troops pose "an intolerable risk" to national security, U.S. senator and Republican presidential hopeful John McCain wrote last month to a gay rights group seeking to change his position on "don't ask, don't tell."

In an April 16 letter to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, McCain said, "I believe polarization of personnel and breakdown of unit effectiveness is too high a price to pay for well-intentioned but misguided efforts to elevate the interests of a minority of homosexual service members above those of their units.

"Most importantly, the national security of the United States, not to mention the lives of our men and women in uniform, are put at grave risk by policies detrimental to the good order and discipline which so distinguish America's armed services."

According to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network the Pentagon fires two homosexuals each day, and in a time where our military is already overstretched, that adds up quick.

McCain's remark comes just a couple of months after Secretary of State, and closet lesbian Condoleezza Rice expressed concern about lack of "foreign-language speakers" available for Iraq, but (conveniently) refused to discuss the dozens of linguists who have been fired under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. It was also revealed that the U.S. army is granting "moral waivers" to the tune of about 125,000 a year that allow convicted criminals to join the armed forces.

So allowing convicted criminals to join the army is perfectly acceptable, but homosexual troops are a "risk" insane McCain (among others) just isn't willing to take.
