Iraq Combat Vet Dan Choi Forcibly Ousted, Barred From Bradley Manning Hearing at Ft. Meade

www.democracynow.org — Former U.S. Army Lt. Dan Choi attended the pre-trial military hearing for accused Army whistleblower Private Bradley Manning this weekend, but was barred from returning on Monday. Military security handcuffed Choi, pinned to the ground and ripped off his rank. The military says Choi was heckling, but Choi maintains he never disrupted the proceedings. He is an Iraq War combat veteran, supporter of Manning, and an openly gay service member who was discharged in 2010 under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. "What Bradley Manning did as a gay American, as a soldier — a good soldier, in fact the only soldier in his entire chain of command who did the right thing and suffers the consequences unjustly — there's no choice but for patriotic Americans to sit there and support Bradley Manning in the dignity and full honor of the uniform of service," Choi tells Democracy Now! Dec. 21.

OWS, go to the frontline for this guy. We, as well as this guy, are the only hope for this country. We must stand the ground with this guy, as well as Bradley Manning, for this country that we love.

I find it absolutely absurd that Manning's sexual orientation is an issue here.

I find it highly absurd that a country that has never had it's borders threatened by any standing army is so obsessed with it's military. It is quite morbidly.

I think this guy is great, but let me say this, the army and military is about killing, is about destroying your enemy no matter what. No one should expect the army or military to be fair or equal or anything of the sort.
