Message to America

Congratulations to Nelson Montana for unilaterally speaking for all Americans! Thank you, Nelson!! As long as you're on a role, please tell me, "What else is happening in the news doesn't sway me?"



You may be a blogger for the Huffington Post, Nel, but you don't get to speak on behalf anyone other than yourself.



As for me, I most certainly AM swayed by Choi's actions. I think it was daring, brash and continues to call very good attention to his being dismissed after being outed for his sexual orientation.



The Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, has come out in favor of repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. General David H. Petraeus said the same thing earlier this week at a House hearing.



If Choi wants to add his voice to the mix, that's his right. And for those of you that think that Choi's act was extreme, remember this:



every war that's ever been fought in the name of protecting liberty or freedom, every veteran you know that's ever served on behalf of your country has fought, in essense, for Choi's right to protest in this fashion.
