Everybody’s favorite Don’t Ask Don’t Tell attention-whore Lt. Dan Choi<\/a> was discharged from the National Guard today. From ABC News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Lt. Dan Choi has been discharged from the Army National Guard.\u00a0 The Iraq war veteran became one of the most outspoken critics of the Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell policy on homosexuals in the military after outing himself as a gay soldier on national television.<\/p>\n

Choi told ABC News that his battalion commander called him Thursday morning to notify him of his honorable discharge under the Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell policy.<\/p>\n

In a statement he said, “After 11 years since beginning my journey at West Point and after 17 months of serving openly as an infantry officer this is both an infuriating and painful announcement.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve stated before on this site that I think it is time to make changes DADT (in a reasonable and logical manner however). However, Lt. Choi’s conduct since he outed himself on the The Rachel Maddow \u00a0has been completely unbecoming of an officer and I don’t think he deserved that honorable discharge. In many ways, this is what he wanted. He wanted to be a martyr for gay rights and most importantly he wanted the attention. He will probably get both.<\/p>\n


\nAdded Sporkmaster:<\/strong> Seems he is likes the feel of steel. He was recently arrested today with eleven other people for chaining himself to the White House gate, again<\/a>. <\/p>\n
