The fact that he was even discharged to begin with. That's what's wrong with the picture.

yea your right. I guess that sentence was kinda ambiguous.
What I meant was the guy is honorably discharged as a decorated vet but had no choice. He had to go even though the service is sorely in need of good men and good linguists.
Rediculous!!

Here's what's wrong: his name. Bleu Copas. What the hell were his parents thinking? :o

Unless it's a stage name or something.

If he is willing to fight, then leave him in there. Hell, if he wanted to have sex with chickens, I would find a chicken for him and mail it off. Sometimes people don't see the forest through the trees....

If he didn't openly say anything and was outed by others WTF?
We had gays on some of my ships and they were pretty obvious about it but they did their jobs!
But if think about it, if you were gay, wouldn't the military be the first place you go to meet men? [smiley=laugh.gif]
They should have kept him in and let him serve his country.

Someone being kicked out of the military for being gay is about as fucked up as being kicked out because you do not like green peppers on your pizza, or you mix your corn and mashed potatoes together.
Talk about ridiculous.

They were wrong...

If the guy was doing his job, they should have left him alone..

for those who don't know...

It was introduced as a compromise measure in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, who while campaigning for the Presidency had promised to allow all citizens regardless of sexual orientation to serve openly in the military, a departure from the contemporary complete ban on those who are not heterosexual. The actual policy was crafted by Colin Powell and has been maintained by Clinton's successor, George W. Bush.

I almost forgot since he didn't openly tell/admit while it active duty the Government is in violation of the law by discharging him, hence don't ask/don't tell. if he didn't tell they cannot ask. To me this is not tolerance it is blatant discrimination, just because someone else didn't like him. I my self am a hetro but if the guy didnt out himself then he was wronged by his command.
