Board Recommends Firing Gay Iraq Veteran

Lt. Dan Choi faced a panel of military officers for violating the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy yesterday, as we mentioned. The board recommended firing Choi, who plans to appeal. More than 150 letters of recommendation were presented to the board, and every witness, on both sides, testified that Choi was "an asset to the unit." Choi is a West Point graduate, Iraq War veteran and Arab linguist.
