Maj. Almy Talks DADT Ruling With Maddow

Maj. Mike Almy, a witness in the federal trial challenging "don't ask, don't tell" who was thrown out of the Air Force in 2006 after his private e-mails were searched, discussed the landmark DADT ruling during a Friday appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show.

In her opinion, Judge Virginia Phillips called Almy a "candid, credible, and forthright witness.

"Almy's modest demeanor as a witness and matter-of-fact recitation of his service did not disguise his impressive record in the Air Force,"she wrote.
