    Choi graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2003 with degrees in Arabic and environmental engineering. Choi served as an infantry officer in Iraq in 2006 and 2007.

    In June 2008, he transferred from active duty Army to the New York National Guard. Choi serves as a National Guardsman with the 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry, based in Manhattan. Choi received a discharge letter following his coming out on the The Rachel Maddow Show.

    Choi is among 59 gay Arabic linguists, along with 9 gay Farsi linguists, who have faced a discharge from the U.S. military from Don't Ask Don't Tell's inception until June 2009.

    The man serves his country. Give him the respect he deserves, you ungrateful bitches.
