Lt. Dan Choi: "We were not trained to lie."

[Iwillnevergiveup]

Dan Choi was on Bill Press this morning speaking out against DADT.

"We don't have a choice here of supporting our troops."

"Soldiers who fall in love can tell their best friends and they're not gonna be kicked out for being honest."

"The unit cohesion is based on trust."

What an eloquent, powerful voice he has.

He's running for Congress from California's 10th District!:yourock:

3. When DODT was established I shook my head. Institutional dishonesty, that's Clinton.

Sorry, Bill Clinton supporters, but that was a terrible idea, a totally weak avoidance of the issue, and a sad indication of how the man would preside over the affairs of our country.

Better than Reagan, by far, but not the best, not by a long shot.

So, predictably, we are back to square one.

We need to elevate the values of integrity and honesty, especially among our troops, not encourage lying.
