Military is Two Faced on Don't Ask Don't Tell Policies.
A gay friend of mine directed me to a site on gay.com which had a man's story(or article rather) of how he got discharged by simply having a profile of himself up on that site.

Fact of the matter is, this is pretty much infringing on these servicemember's privacy, and should be dealt with immediately until the situation explodes.

1. Doesn't surprise me in today's political climate, but it's both
stupid and unfair. Even if you turn a blind eye to the civil rights violation, the military is still shooting itself in the foot by kicking out smart, motivated volunteers, at a time when recruiters are struggling to fill their quotas.
