We ♥ you Dan, oh, yes we do....

Long time good pal to the k+b, Lt. Dan Choi, is taking a little time out, here at this festive holiday season. From all over :

Lt. Dan Choi, the openly gay Army veteran who has been an outspoken critic of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, has been hospitalized after suffering a mental breakdown, he told colleagues.
"I was involuntarily committed to the Brockton MA Veterans Hospital Psychiatric Ward on Friday Morning after experiencing a breakdown and anxiety attack," Choi wrote in an e-mail Tuesday to Pam Spaulding and Rex Wockner, who blog about gay and lesbian issues.
On her blog, Pam's House Blend, Spaulding shared the contents of Choi's e-mail, in which the Iraq war vet expressed disappointment at the failure by Congress to repeal the 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops in the military.


 As a rule we here at the k+b try like heck to avoid the  " involuntarily committed "... and being Southern, we tend to self medicate. ( really Dan, just open another bottle of wine, put on some sad Carpenters Christmas songs and have a good cry! )
Get well soon, Lt. Dan, and hurry back to the fight!
