I have made the case many times for repeal of DADT. In a lot of cases LT Dan Choi was a perfect case for why it is a bad idea as he speaks Arabic. Well now he has gone and bedouched himself as Greyhawk duly notes. Pardon me if I pause a moment here to point out that confronted with the possibility of not being separated for being gay - and with a repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell very likely within the next year - Dan Choi took an action that (regardless of the motivation behind it - ain't that right, "Major" Cook?) should pretty much end anyone's military career - he chained himself in uniform to the effing White House fence - the home of the Commander in Chief - as a way of making a very public political protest. Anyone who finds that image inspiring is best ignored on all matters of US national defense. Choi damn well ought to be out of the military for that stunt ASAP, in fact he's all but forced it. How happy he's made the powers-that-be who are now spared from having to discharge him under DADT. Poorly struck there buddy, way to undermine your own case. At least he wasn't wearing wings and a tiara.
