"The U.S. Air Force has spent an estimated $25 million training
combat pilot Lt. Col. Victor Fehrehbach but is about to discharge
him involuntarily because he is gay. Born of military-officer
parents, Fehrenbach has earned 30 awards and decorations, with
tours flying F-15Es in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and was one
of the elite fighters called on to patrol the air space over
Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001. Also about to be
discharged solely for being gay is Army infantry officer Daniel
Choi, a West Point graduate and Arabic speaker, who would be
(based on a 2005 Government Accounting Office report) at least
the 56th gay Arabic linguist to be dismissed from the U.S. military
since the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993."
