This has to be one of the most hypocritical policies our government has ever had:

No matter what your views are or what you think of the policy, they are obviously not enforcing it uniformly, and with the war they are turning a blind eye when it's not convenient to let people go. In this case the guy told his commanding officer he was gay, went on 60 Minutes and told the world he was gay, and was on video kissing his boyfriend, yet their investigation found "no evidence of homosexuality". And from the Army's standpoint, really there isn't any relevant evidence - this is the guy's private life, and it obviously does not interfere with his job, so much that the commanding officer does not want to get rid of him.
My understanding is that everyone in the Armed Services must follow a code of conduct, and if you don't you get kicked out. If the code of conduct amounts to being professionals and not bringing your personal life to work, this should be no different.
OK, off to Nebraska for a fun weekend of visiting and catching up with friends!
