Here’s a story we haven’t heard in a while: an ROTC cadet being discharged from that program when it was discovered he was gay. It also seems to have motivated others to take action as well.
Komo said within two hours of the article’s publication, more than 30 people looking to take steps against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” had contacted him
“This is really indicative of how destructive ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ truly is,” Komo said, adding that he does not hold Perry, Trimis or the military responsible. “I commend their efforts in defending our country. I am a huge supporter of NROTC. It just saddens me that they have to uphold ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ ”
Now well into his second semester without 5:30 a.m. alarms waking him up for training, Belok has found that he has more free time on his hands - time he plans on spending trying to raising awareness to his situation and others affected by the federal policy.
“I still want to be in the military,” Belok said. “It is just a matter of time until the law changes.”
