Senator John McCain, DADT' repeal's fiercest opponent in the Senate, has adopted a new position.
McCain signaled that he had made peace with the lame-duck bill to do away with the military's ban on openly gay and lesbian service members, of which he had been an outspoken critic.
"I think I have to do everything I can to make sure that the important moral, retention, recruitment, and battle effectiveness of the military is minimized as much as possible," McCain said on Fox Business. "It is a law and I have to do whatever I can to help the men and women who are serving particularly in combat cope with this new situation. I will do everything I can to make it work."
Added The Hill…"McCain said he would do whatever he could to help implement the policy's repeal."
