DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL (AND, OH YEAH, GO AHEAD AND SMASH A SKULL OR TWO)
A recommendation to the court-martial in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, that's trying 18-year-old Pvt. Calvin Glover for the premeditated murder of 21-year-old Pfc. Barry Winchell: stop the proceedings and smash his skull with a baseball bat while he's sleeping. Do this as soon as possible; spend any money you save on lengthy court proceedings on a nice holiday party.
Actually, that would be damned beastly, wouldn't it? OK, better go on with the trial. Just get justice done quickly, tuck Glover away for life somewhere, rethink the military's laughable, prejudice-affirming policy of "don't ask, don't tell," then go have a nice holiday party. Glover is accused of beating Winchell to death with a baseball bat while he slept in his barracks last July 5, after months of what fellow soldiers have testified was Glover's non-stop anti-gay harrassment of Winchell. According to the New York Times, two days before the attack Winchell had been "taunted by Glover into a fist fight," which Winchell won easily. Glover couldn't handle the humiliation and "got even" (the quotes are ours).
On third thought, brain the guy.
