Lesbian Leaves Army in Lifeboat

Byyyyyye!!

"Lesbian cadet resigns from West Point" by Associated Press | August 13, 2010

WEST POINT, N.Y. — A lesbian cadet asked to resign from the US Military Academy because she can no longer lie about her sexuality and was troubled by the antigay attitudes of some around her.

Yeah, if you can't lie the military is probably not going to work out for you.

Katherine Miller of Findlay, Ohio, also said she wants to fight for repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell’’ law, a subject she was studying and writing about as a sociology major at West Point.

“I intend for my resignation to offer a concrete example of the consequences of a failed law and social policy,’’ she wrote in her resignation letter Monday.

Miller wrote proudly of her accomplishments as a student, athlete, and soldier....

Miller’s resignation letter was dated a week before she would be required to sign a commitment to finish her final two years and serve five years in the military....

Oh, so she BAILED before she got into any REAL COMBAT, huh?
