1. Wasn't he just called back to his unit?

I remember reading that a few weeks ago. I'm sad that this had to happen.

2. Before he handcuffed himself to the fence, he said he was still being discharged. n/t

11. He came out on Rachel Maddow's show.

And was notified he was being discharged after that, despite the support of his unit. :-(

10. its an extremely inside joke

But if you are interested, check out east side dave and twitter awards. It gets interesting with Sanchez's comments on CNN the day after.

4. DADT is going to be repealed

A friend of mine who's a vet posted links to Stars and Stripes on another board. It's clear change of attitudes has taken place at the top and that DADT will be repealed soon.

That kind of protest won't really help IMO. Being arrested will hurt Choi and the other guy.

8. Gotta disagree with your last two statements.

There are numerous examples when civil disobedience has been used as an effective means of drawing attention to civil justice inequalities.

5. There, ladies and gentlemen, goes a REAL man.

Massive respect.

7. DADT will be repealed before the troops come home

It's the bigger priority here at D/U...
