His declaration would have much less of an impact(or less oomph rather) if he did that. :contract:
Exactly. Attention whore does not deserve to be in the military.

Damn it!  What are the chances so many gays know Arabic?

Well considering that Arabic has been stated as a useful language for the US's current military struggles, it wouldn't surprise me if people took to learning it to get a leg up.


Add to that that I think it is fair to say that "out" homosexuals are more likely to be somewhat educated (Grallon excepted), and I think you have your answer.

Yep-- less chance to be a celebrated martyr/drama queen.

I was joking around on the fact that so many of the dudes getting kicked out of the military for gayness happened to have a specialty we are desperately in need of.  Hell  it doesn't even make sense, why would unit morale be undermined by the sexuality of their linguist?

Well the army does talk about developing courage and honor.  Maybe that idiocy led him to do that.
It also teaches loyalty, duty, respect, and selfless service - values he violated when he bitched on TV while still under contract.

Human beings don't really belong in the military.

How does sacrificing your career for something you believe in not selfless?  Eh this is America maybe he will benefit somehow from his five minutes of fame.

Anyway pity to lose another Arabic linguist this way.

Are you kidding me? It makes perfect sense given the age of the average grunt. EWW GEHY.

So this guy went on national television to force the Presidents hand?

He fought the law and the law won.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
