Army dismisses gay Arabic linguist

A decorated sergeant and Arabic language specialist was dismissed from the U.S. Army under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, though he says he never told his superiors he was gay and his accuser was never identified. Bleu Copas, 30, told The Associated Press he is gay, but said he was "outed" by a stream of anonymous e-mails to his superiors in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C.

...
On Dec. 2, investigators formally interviewed Copas and asked if he understood the military's policy on homosexuals, if he had any close acquaintances who were gay, and if he was involved in community theater. He answered affirmatively.

Thanks to Bin Laden, and those guys in the revival of Mame, America is doomed.

That's abominable. It's well known that MUSICAL theatre is the only reliable indicator. Why, it's as simple as Death of a Salesman vs. Camelot. Durr.

The last community theater production I was involved in was "Godspell". Surely there's an exception for that.

You would have been tossed out of the recruiter's office in no time flat. If it had been Hair, you would likely have been shot without trial.
