Hoodathunkit?

The latest high-profile DADT case has a surprising ending:

Derek Morado -- who was faced with discharge even though we were "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was history -- just telephoned GetEQUAL to let them know he won his battle to stay in the military today. . . .

According to Derek, all three members of the hearing board voted to retain him in the military -- an incredible result.

I really didn't expect that.

I'd love to know what was on the appeal panel's minds behind this decision. No statement from them yet, though, and I doubt there will be one.
