Lt. Choi re-enlists. Army recruiters instructed to employ openly gay recruits.

@ltdanchoi: In the recruiting station. Apparently I'm too old for the Marines! Just filled out the Army application.

A Pentagon spokeswoman says recruiters have been told that they must accept gay applicants, following a federal court decision striking down the ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said Tuesday that top-level guidance has been issued to recruiting commands informing them that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" rule has been suspended for now. Recruiters also have been told to inform potential recruits that the moratorium could be reversed at any point.

4. Somebody is going to have to choke the life out of DADT.

It's lingering, the uncertainty making people twitchy.

6. Unless Congress or the Appeals Court does something

it will just linger undercover like a smoldering fire. It will at some point flare up again and much worse.
