According to Politico<\/a>, Dan Choi is attempting to reenlist in the Army as “vindication” of something or other;<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing back to the military will be a vindication,\u201d Choi told POLITICO. [I\u2019m] going back because I fought to go back. The seriousness of our claims was not just political theatre \u2013 it was really drawn from our lives. I sacrificed so much so I could go back.\u201d<\/p>\n

In October 2010, he attempted to rejoin the U.S. Army, but has gone back and forth since then. Choi has scheduled appointment with a military recruiter to talk about joining the Army Reserves later this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really, Dan, you sacrificed? What exactly did you sacrifice? Sanity? Common sense? You brought it all on yourself needlessly.<\/p>\n

I think there’s probably a question on the application for enlistment that asks Choi if he has any unsettled legal matters, to which he’d be required to answer “yes” since his trial in DC was delayed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Choi says that although he is happy with the repeal of Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell \u2013 after all, it allows him to reenlist \u2013 the victory is incomplete, something that he doesn\u2019t think is well understood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is time for some well-intended criticism here \u2013 the parties that have been going on. I think they misrepresent the meaning of this event. People who believe that discrimination is somehow all erased will have a rude awakening,\u201d says Choi, pointing out that same-sex spouses will not be extended benefits by the military.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope the Army has the good sense to reject his application regardless of his circumstances. I’d hate to be the squad leader that has to tolerate this piece of shit and his antics. If ever there was someone who didn’t deserve the opportunity to serve this country, it’s Dan Choi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
