The latest news on DADT is that Judge Virginia Phillips has rejected the Justice Department’s application for a stay of her order to end Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.<\/p>\n

The Defense Department has said it would comply with Phillips’ order and had frozen any discharge cases. Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said Tuesday recruiters had been given top-level guidance to accept applicants who say they are gay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This prompted the poster girl of the DADT, Dan Choi, to walk into a recruiting station in Times Square and apply for reenlistment<\/a>. This was Choi in March;<\/p>\n

\"Choi\"<\/p>\n

If his unit had gone ahead and prosecuted him for chaining himself to the White House fence, they wouldn’t have to deal with this now. <\/p>\n

Do I have anything against Choi for being gay? Nope. What I have a problem with is his inability to conform to a policy as an officer appointed by Congress. And now, he’s daring the Army to reject his enlistment for ANY reason. He’s not fit to serve because he doesn’t understand the concept of “serving” or conduct unbecoming an officer.<\/p>\n

The Advocate<\/a> reported that he was “tweeting” his attempt to reenlist. Who does that if they’re not doing it for political reasons? If he gets to be the subject of a blanket party as an enlisted “man”, it won’t be because of his sexual preferences, it’ll be because he’s such a little prick who deserves the wrath of his peers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
