So yet again we have a serviceman who was about to be discharged

but for the Log Cabin GOP.

Andrew Harmon has direct confirmation that the DADT discharge policy has finally changed -- from a servicemember facing discharge:

Airman 1st Class Justin Dailey said Friday that he had been served with discharge paperwork on June 9 after his sexual orientation came to the attention of his command. Dailey said he did not make a voluntary statement on his sexual orientation and was not seeking separation from the Armed Forces.

Stationed at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, Dailey said he was told on Thursday — one day after the ninth circuit’s order lifting the stay on U.S. district judge Virginia Phillips’s injunction against DADT — that his discharge proceedings had been suspended. “I had intended on fighting this tooth and nail,” Dailey said. “I’m happy I can proceed with my career and get back to work.”

Dailey’s account was confirmed by Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which has represented the airman in collaboration with his military defense attorney. SLDN spokesman Zeke Stokes said that the military attorney had received notification via phone of Dailey’s discharge suspension but has not yet received specific written communication from defense officials.

Why the hell did Dailey even get discharge orders on June 9th?

As pointed out in the post below, not everyone got the news. Jim Pietrangelo tried to re-enlist today and couldn't -- because he's gay.

Let's be blunt here. This serviceman would be facing discharge today had the Log Cabin case gone the other way. Time after time after time we have been told this policy is over. Time after time after time we were told this as we provided example after example of service men being discharged. Here is yet another one. This should have been certified months ago. This man shouldn't have had to fight tooth and nail. I am so glad this policy is finally gone.

The Log Cabin Kidz did good.

the claim was made that the best way to deal with this is through the courts?

Now it's done, and after the President signed the repeal into law.

A win, credit the LCR.

thanks DSC.

I can't imagine why anyone would be pissed off by Judge Phillip's ruling nor the 9th circuit panel's lifting of the stay.

DADT has now been officially killed. People who wanted it dead should be thrilled.

and to never be happy even when you get exactly what you wanted or at least that is my observation.

but I'm fairly sure you won't receive them.
