Valmy, are you upset that the Army lost an Arab linguist?  Just wondering :P

Oh was he an Arab linguist?  Well that makes it twice as bad.

Mind-blowing.

Actually outraged or not?

Anyway, this isn't the first. Some girl in the air force who wrote a letter to Obama asking if he would repeal DADT, and his response yes, also got kicked out.

How many years have you served, again?

This is about the dumbest thing I have heard on languish, and I have been here a long time.

Oh, and the answer for me is 26 years.
Thanks for calling me dumb. Now educate me.

Outraged.  To think that in 2009 a government entity can fire someone for their sexual orientation is bind-blowing.  So is the fact that this policy actually has serious support among population and politicians.

Don't worry. Attitudes are changing rapidly.

That an openly gay person can be the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces yet can't legally serve in it is beyond me.

I am highly confident that if a gay person gets elected President, then the military will be open to gays.

If it makes you feel better, Obama has the power to forbid nondiscrimination amongst federal employees (not including the military) by an executive order but has shown no inclination to do so.  :)

Ah, the military person who thinks he knows better than the civilian government. What could possibly go wrong?
