The Daily Background

You may have already heard about this story but I thought it was worth posting anyways. In New Jersey, an Army recruiter found some kid’s resume posted online and contacted him to try and recruit him for the military. The kid (who happened to be African American and gay) wrote back saying that he (like the majority of Americans and the majority of service-members) didn’t like the military’s bigoted and unconstitutionally discriminatory “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy, and that was the end of that.

Except it wasn’t. The recruiter then emailed the responses printed below. And also by the way, the recruiter hasn’t been suspended or received any disciplinary action, according to CBS News. The military says it’s investigating the incident. (Big hat tips to Shakes and Pam.)
