A Gay Army Veteran Tells His Story

Celebrate Veterans Day early with this talk by Army Lt. Dan Choi, the West Point graduate, Iraq veteran and Arabic linguist who came out on national television--and now faces discharge. Lt. Choi is challenging the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy,” under which he could be discharged despite his fluency in Arabic and impressive service record.
