LT DAN CHOI CALLED BACK TO DUTY

The U.S. Army has called 1LT Dan Choi back to duty and he's currently doing what he does best, defending America!   His discharge is not final until his commander signs off on it and he's not pushing it.  Why should he?  Choi's a fine officer and we're fighting two wars.  We need to keep the best of the best on the job.  Read all about it here.

The repeal of DADT may kill two birds with one stone. Once gay men can be out, proud and beyond blackmail they can be strong allies and defenders of women soldiers who are often at the mercy of their straight male brethren. In addition, if they can recall an openly gay man to duty, then what kind of effective argument can they mount  that they need a year to study and plan for integration?

This is great news. If they can recall one of the most outspoken and visible warriors of the DADT movement, then can a full repeal be far behind?
