Be careful what you call "wrong". We don't know the circumstances from the article. Was he an activist? Prior to Bent Willie's change in DOD homosexual policy in 1993, homosexuality resulted in discharge. After that, well, as we all know, the military could not ask about such matters, but homosexuality was still a dischargable action.
Yes, getting the boot just 8 days prior sounds like a cheap shot. But was it legal? If so, tough.

As I said earlier, I don't care if the guy had sex with sheep. He served. He had a Purple Heart and a couple of Bronze Stars. What happened to him, explicit video or not, is just plain wrong.
