The whole gist of the report was that this soldier was not discharged even after telling superior officers that he was gay. So what happened after the report aired on national television? The Army discharged him.
The controversial 60 Minutes segment aired on CBS last December. The segment is slated to be re-run with updated info on the fate of Army Sergeant Darren Manzella this Sunday, July 13 (check the listings at local affiliate KEYE-42).
