From an AP story in the local gay paper today.

"The Army has dismissed a decorated sargeant and Arabic language specialist from North Carolina under the 'don't ask don't tell' polict, though he says he never told hgis superiors he was gay and his accuser was never identified"

OK - that's not surprising - we all know this policy is bonerheaded, but this is the part that caught my eye...

"During a formal interview last Dec 2, , investigators asked (him) if he understood the military's policy on homosexuals, if he had any close acquaintances who were gay, and if he was involved in community theater. He answered affermitively"

Because apparently community theatre makes you OMGGAY!!!!11one!!

Sigh.

Damn. Better not let my First Sergeant know about this one, or I'm just as hosed as that guy.

The other thing about this case that is so angering is that the soldier was apparently emailed anonymously by a member of his own unit, with the emailer asking if he was gay as if from a dating website. Then the emails were used against him.
