But If Lesbian Cadet Katherine Miller Resigns From West Point, What Will She Have to Give Sen. Harry Reid?

Cadet Katherine Miller, ranked No. 9 in her class at West Point, came out to her superiors yesterday, and promptly resigned.

She explained in a letter to brass: “While at the academy, I have made a deliberate effort to develop myself academically, physically, and militarily, but in terms of holistic personal growth I have reached a plateau. I am unwilling to suppress an entire portion of my identity any longer because it has taken a significant personal, mental, and social toll on me and detrimentally affected my professional development.”
