A letter:
“Maybe you can help me.
“I married my wife in 1958 while on active duty. Neither of us is gay but I feel I deserve those extra days leave as much as gays do.
“Would you use your influence to retroactively get the 10 days for me? I'll take in pay with accumulated interest to date.”

(I wasn’t in the Army when Priscilla and I were married 41 years ago, but I was in when we celebrated our ninth anniversary. I think there should be retroactive stuff there, too.
(What’s amazing to me is the number of people who defend Hagel’s decision giving homosexuals free leave. Not many total, but one is too many.)
