In a sign that the Obama Administration is moving steadily and firmly in the direction of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Dan Choi, a member of the Army National Guard and Arabic translator, has been recalled to active duty. In 2009, Choi was released from active duty because of the DADT policy.
While it is a bit disappointing that any National Guardsmen are being called to active duty, this is clearly a step forward on the coming freedom of all Americans to serve their country. Thank you Lt. Choi.

still bread crumbs to the wagon jumpers. but then again, unless Obama opens death camps for conservatives, NOTHING will be enough.

That is good news! I guess DADT really is ending. Supposedly we’re ending funding for the program (yes it takes money to conduct sexual witch hunts). It’s fiscally responsible!

When is Obama going to keep his death camps for conservatives campaign promise?

Isn’t grand that gays and lesbians will soon be able to openly kill and die to support the illegitimate Karzai regime in Afghanistan and Obomba’s secret illegal war in Pakistan?

It may be observed that for the same type of crime different courts in other states award different punishment. When the laws are uniform why it should be so. If a person has committed rape or robbery he should be awarded the same punishment everywhere.
Then the punishment should not be only in proportion to the crime committed but the proliferation of the same type of crime in the state/country.
Jail punishments are not enough – hardened – incurable criminals be sent to Alaska type of place where the daily life may be a punishment in itself for hard labor for the rest of life.
As after living in the comfort and care of jails the prisoners become habitual of it and take granted the state care available there and are not productive. States spent huge amounts in their upkeep and security using the tax payer’s money.
My this opinion is worth considering be based for a meaningful review of the present day jail sentences

Nobody should join the military. The idea that everyone should have the “right” to put their boot on someone else’s neck is both obscene and absurd.

What a bunch of thread killers!
I think recalling Choi sends a strong message. There have been many laws that have been ignored and broken before they were repealed.
Comment by Unstable Isotope on 10 February 2010 at 8:00 am:
Some laws are still on the books – like the Jim Crow laws. They were made illegal by federal laws but are still on the books and not enforced. There’s also plenty of laws on the books that are no longer enforced.

Some day, we’ll look back with amazement that we tolerated any form of a communication gap in the military:
