The Army discharged 11 soldiers in January alone under its failed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy:
"Democratic Rep. Jim Moran said he has requested monthly updates fromthe Pentagon on the impact of the policy until it is repealed. In a statement released on Thursday, Moran said the dischargedsoldiers included an intelligence collector, a military police officer,four infantry personnel, a health care specialist, a motor-transportoperator and a water-treatment specialist. 'How many more good soldiers are we willing to lose due to a badpolicy that makes us less safe and secure?' asked Moran, a member ofthe House panel that oversees military spending."
