Tamn and Jerry920 want you guys to know that the Pentagon has certified that the military is ready for the repeal of the decades-old Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Jerry wonders where Dan Choi is today. Well, according to the Global Post, Choi is hoping to go to prison;
“I want the government to force me to go to jail,” Choi insists. “I’m not going to let them take the easy way.”
Yeah, I hope he punches someone in the chest in prison. I hope he gets jail time, too, then he won’t be able to enlist in the Army. lord knows there are enough drama queens in the military these days, they don’t need Dan Choi chaining himself to some military front gate to protest pulling guard duty over the holiday.
And, oh, Choi is now anti-war, according to that article in the Global Post, so the IVAW can look forward to him joining them soon, I suppose.
But, anyway, where are the thousands of gays who wanted to serve in the military but couldn’t because of their conscience? They should be lined up around the block at your local recruiters’ office. Can you see them?
Stars & Stripes Leo Shane laments that it’s decision for gays and lesbians to decide whether they want to come out of the closet or not.
