Don’t ask, don’t tell, then re-enlist.
“Petty Officer 2nd Class Jason Knight says the U.S. Navy knew he was gay, discharged him after he admitted his sexuality, and then re-called him last year to serve in the Middle East.”
UPDATE: Carpetbagger has much more HERE.

…waiting patiently for our St.Daryll to post…
May 8th, 2007 at 11:25 amGay or straight — ya’ll make great cannon fodder.
May 8th, 2007 at 11:27 amDaryll may not know whether to flip, flop, or fly on THIS one!
May 8th, 2007 at 11:28 amIf he was gay then It looks like jake and aptrick1 dont have any excuses left to get straight over there
May 8th, 2007 at 11:29 amWe hope your gayness had passed by now…
May 8th, 2007 at 11:30 amIt’s pretty ironic that Gays are tossed out of the Militairy because of the threat posed to them by homophobes so twisted by their own gayness they can’t stand seeing themselves.
May 8th, 2007 at 11:30 amThis really exposes the hypocrisy of DADT. Why aren’t republicans up in arms about this?
May 8th, 2007 at 11:31 amAnd he went back?
Make sure you forward this story to McCrazy’s office

May 8th, 2007 at 11:38 amA gay soldier dying in Irak is a true patriot.But he must DIE there (die in vain of course) so he does not come back and receives honors as a gay hero.Heroes can’t be gay.(Republican propaganda manual).

Hey, Daryll, Is polygamy one of the biblical values you’ve chosen to ingore?
You know, like a bunch of other Biblical verses that the “c”hristain people conveniently skip over as they use the bible to justify their prejudices?
It’s interesting that the US s one of two NATO countries that don’t allow gays to openly serve in the miliatary.

Has someone been hitting the bottle…?
May 8th, 2007 at 4:46 pmI’m not sure why this thread uses “re-enlist”. The man was reCALLED to duty. He didn’t “re-enlist” following his discharge.
May 8th, 2007 at 6:44 pmHe only enlisted ONCE. He was serving, then he was discharged, and was recalled by the Navy which ordered him to repay his initial enlistment bonus and was apparently still withholding that money from his paycheck after he was recalled. (Properly, the thread should be titled “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, But Expect to Be Recalled Anyway.”)
Personally, I hope the guy takes the Navy to court over the money and the Navy is not only forced to repay him the enlistment bonus that he’s had to repay (and has had withheld), but also orders FULL BACK PAY for every month between his discharge and recall to duty.
God, I can’t stand these hypocrites.
