Whatever else she was, she was disrespectful to the law and disrespectful to what was likely a majority of her immediate peers, because with or without DADT, her self-imposed DADT had in fact worked in her case, for her and for the Navy, because while she practiced DADT by choice, so did her peers, by not “outing her” because possibly on some professional level she had earned their respect, in spite of what most of them knew about her personal life. They hadn’t made it an issue because she hadn’t made it an issue.
Then she used her retirement party to stand up and trash a system that I believe had worked in her favor.
Up until the very last minute, her “sexuality” was not an issue to most of those around her, until she, she herself had to finally make it an issue.
I think she dishonored her own service.
Exactly. Despicable.
