Decorated Air Force officer fights Don't Ask, Don't Tell discharge


After 18 years in the Air Force, Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach faces likely removal because his superiors were informed that Fehrenbach is gay. Fehrenbach, who won a medal for heroism in Iraq, was hoping that the Obama administration would bring an end to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network estimates that 200 military personnel have been discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" since Obama took office in January.

So, let's see...the troops are overextended and burnt out, the USA is in debt up to its eyeballs, and we're going to discharge hundreds of people the military has already trained so we can go pay bonuses to some greenhorns and send them to boot camp.

Yeah, makes sense to me.
