MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, a strong proponent of LGBT rights, has been all over the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell story. She brought Lt. Dan Choi to us, and it was on her show that, to the world, he said, “I am gay.” It was amazing and inspirational. Weeks later, he was officially discharged. Now, Maddow brings us the story of yet another high-profile victim of DADT, Lt. Colonel Victor Fehrenbach, a nine-time decorated office, veteran of 88 missions with over 400 combat hour.
Oh, and the Pentagon has no plans to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Pinky, are you thinking what I’m thinking?
