Richard Smith at VoteVets corrects some erroneous early reports:
1LT Choi has NOT been ordered back to active duty. It would be difficult to order him “back” to active duty, being that he serves in the New York National Guard, not on active duty, unless he had been mobilized. What has happened is that, with the support of his command, 1LT Choi drilled with his National Guard unit this past weekend for training on critical infantry tasks with his Soldiers.
My mistake; I assumed from the original Advocate story that his Guard unit had been activated. I should have checked with the New York National Guard. My apologies for this post. Still, there’s a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell lesson here. Richard points out the implications of a published photograph of a uniformed Lt. Choi in his bunk:
Here is a photo of 1LT Choi living in an open bay, not being beaten up by his comrades, not uncontrollably attempting to have sex with men, and not threatening good order and discipline (strange, since repeal opponents told me that such things would happen invariably)
Update: Zack Roth and Rachel Slajda at TPM reports out the backstory.

Grrr! I got into a big fight with my significant other because he said your article was not factual and that you were WRONG and I defended you! He used to be a National Guard guy so he know the scoop at the guard.Oh, well… I guess I will be the “bigger” person and tell him he was right. Maybe not. :)

What a shame. A soldier with his education, talents and willingness to serve his country should have an impediment to his service that is based on something beyond his control. Mentally, physically and emotionally he is fit, he has needed skills and the desire. What part of sense is that?
