Richard Smith at VoteVets correctssome erroneous early reports:
“„1LT Choi has NOT been ordered back to active duty. It would be difficult to order him “back” to active duty, being that he serves in the New York National Guard, not on active duty, unless he had been mobilized. What has happened is that, with the support of his command, 1LT Choi drilled with his National Guard unit this past weekend for training on critical infantry tasks with his Soldiers.
My mistake; I assumed from the original Advocate story that his Guard unit had been activated. I should have checked with the New York National Guard. My apologies for this post. Still, there’s a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell lesson here. Richard points out the implications of a published photograph of a uniformed Lt. Choi in his bunk:
“„Here is a photo of 1LT Choi living in an open bay, not being beaten up by his comrades, not uncontrollably attempting to have sex with men, and not threatening good order and discipline (strange, since repeal opponents told me that such things would happen invariably)
