The military policy Don’t Ask Don’t Tell requires the discharge of openly gay service members. Lieutenant Dan Choi was recommended for discharge after he became openly gay. However because the military is taking a second look at the policy he has been asked to return to training with his National Guard Unit. His unit may be sent to Iraq in the coming months so his commander wants every able and willing soldier he can get. Lt. Choi says he can still get a call any day saying he is officially discharged though but he his happy to return to service. He also entered West Point knowing he was gay but has now realized he does not want to lie about it anymore.
Do you think that Lt. Choi should be allowed back into the National Guard even though he is openly gay and the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy is still in action?
