This case is one of the most outrageous of all the servicepeople kicked out over DADT, to kick out an Arabic translator just when they are needed most, should anger anyone with geniune concern over our troops and their missions.

I have seen that we lose around 600 troops a year over DADT since inacted, but I haven't seen what types of duties these troops perform, but I would suspect the majority are highly trained individuals such as Lt. Choi, that aren't only hard to replace, but darn expensive. What a waste, both in human terms and financial.

  You're right. And there are 58 linguists who have been removed.
