Quoting from the article: 50-Year-old Lt. Col. Steve Loomis was discharged for "conduct unbecoming an officer" one week before he reached his 20-year active-duty career mark"

If the enlisted soldier had been female would the same code of conduct been applied in the same manner?

Was he discharged simply because he was gay or because he was having sex with enlisted personnel?

If the Army can cite cases similar to this, where an officer received similar punishment after sex with an enlisted woman, then they may have a case.

My guess is that if this had been between a man and a woman, then they would have allowed him to keep his pension. As much as many will not like it, eventually, the courts will rule that gays can serve (they already do anyway).

I disagree completely. Keeping those photo's was harrasment and should not be tolerated by whoever did it.

Your opinion. You ain't Nostradamus and he wasn't always right either. The recent SCOTUS decision and the homosexual jubilation is going to wake up a lot of folks. I hear it like a fire alarm.
