So Goldwater was out to destroy the military?

''I think that if you left it up to the American people, the attitude would be, 'What the hell, there's nothing wrong with a gay as long as he doesn't misbehave himself,' '' Goldwater said.

Goldwater said conservatives who supported the military ban were ignoring their movement's core principle, ''that government should stay out of people's private lives.''

He said that studies have proven homosexuals are not security risks and that the ban ultimately will be lifted anyway.

''I think it's high time to pull the curtains on this charade of a policy,'' he wrote

The comments on the King show were a follow-up to an opinion article by Goldwater in Thursday's Washington Post in which he said gays should be allowed in the military. The article also appears today in The Arizona Republic.
