Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo are going on a Hunger Strike for DADT

I just saw this press release on Joe.My.God
FASTNG FOR EQUALITY & DIGNITY STATEMENT BY DAN CHOI
Immediately following congressional mark-ups on the National Defense Authorization Act 2011, Captain James Pietrangelo and I will commence a fast in pursuit of Equality and Dignity. We have three demands of President Barack Obama.

DEMAND #1: End the Comprehensive Working Group "Study," which insults the dignity of all Americans.

DEMAND #2: End "Don't Ask Don't Tell" discharges forever.

DEMAND #3: Replace all discriminatory regulations in the military with a comprehensive non-discrimination policy.

This action is not organized in the name of any organization.
I'm really confused on Dan's stance. His demands are not completely realistic and a tad bit desperate.

And a hunger strike? Somebody, please check on them regularly and have a 3 piece and biscuit ready.

P.S. some of them may go to Prison too

If that's the case, he may lose before the big win.
