Ex-senator reverses opposition to gays in military - Yahoo! News: "While most troops signaled they didn't care if gays served openly, nearly 60 percent of the Marine Corps and Army soldiers in combat arms units predicted problems would arise.
'My suspicions are that the law will be repealed' eventually, Marine Corps Commandant James Amos told a Senate panel. 'All I'm asking is the opportunity to do that at a time and choosing when my Marines are not singularly tightly focused on what they're doing in a very deadly environment.'
Nunn said in the interview that he was swayed by the chiefs' testimony that repeal could be done as long as the Pentagon had enough time to prepare.
'That's a huge change' since 1993, he said. 'I think that makes a big difference in perceptions of fairness and legitimacy in the law.'"
