The Face of DADT - The reliably pro-gay NY Times publishes the viewpoint of one Army linguist discharged for being gay. Mr. Gamble fleshes out a couple of issues that other press coverage had failed to detail. For example, when the Army specialist and his boyfriend were discovered together after visiting hours, they were "not found in any embrace." (Earlier stories had suggested they might even have been caught in flagrante delicto.) Gamble also explains what the breach of rules would have meant for straight soldiers -- "10 days of restriction and 10 days of extra duty" -- which he completed. Finally, he claims that he was doing well in his Arabic instruction. That just magnifies the loss to the country caused by this ridiculous policy.
