Top Ten West Point cadet resigns over DADT
Read the official resignation letter (embedded below, posted at Pam’s House Blend, provided by Outserve). You really must read the whole thing. This kid is amazingly mature and accomplished at 22 years old. Exactly the kind of person you’d want as a military officer. I think she might do more good as a civilian, though.

Also see the anonymous blog she wrote for Velvet Park under the pseudonym Private Second Class Citizen. The story of her coming out is especially interesting. In just a handful of blog posts (plus her resignation letter) she’s done an excellent job of articulating the whole path of her reasoning and decision-making. It helps that she was self-aware, confident, and already out to herself at the time she entered West Point.
I’m looking forward to watching her trajectory (and contrasting it with Lt Dan Choi).
