SAN FRANCISCO - A gay psychiatrist ordered to repay the U.S. Air Force $71,000 for his education argued to an appeals court Wednesday he doesn't owe the government anything and the military's policy is discriminatory.

Dr. John Hensala, 38, attended medical school at Northwestern University, served his three-year residency at Yale University and received a two-year fellowship at the University of California at San Francisco - all with the understanding that, in exchange, he owed the Air Force four years of active duty service.

"I feel super, thank's for asking!"

The guy only committed fraud against the American people. Hell, when that happened in 1992, we made the guy President.

[struwwelpeter]

Let him keep the money, but give him a lobotomy.

[flushed with pride]

Is he the one that demanded to be stationed at Fort Dix?

[CHATTAB]

This guy got a lot of education, and he only owes them 4 years, or has to pay back $71,000? Woopety-Doo either way!

[Hildy]

Just put him in an office somewhere...alone...doing office work until he pays off his debt.

I suspect the district court decision will be overturned. There is no rule against "telling." Nor is there any rule against not telling. This one isn't even close.

but give him a lobotomy.

I hope and trust that you never gain a position of influence that might affect public policy.

[flushed with pride]

I guess you could say he made a sucker out of the Air Force.

As a matter of equity the court is not going to allow a man to unilaterally exercise a power to avoid service and keep the money expended by the Air Force's in the reasonable reasonable expectation that he would serve

The legal doctrine is one of unjust enrichment.

I heard he told his first client to grab his ankles and spell run.

I guess the trick is not to tell but get caught. We have a Rube Goldberg toy here. It is unprincipled. The whole structure is untenable IMO.

"You have to understand this in terms of what he knew at the time, rather than 10 years later."

I understand. He was a cheat then, remains a cheat today, and will likely always be a cheat.

Gay psychiatrist.... It figures.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This case made me think of Klinger in MASH. That malingering soldier tried everything to bail, including crossdressing. And what a shame that this fellow has to pay his loans back. I wonder how he will like dealing with HMO's? Payback is a Hillary ain't it? (Moderator: is subbing the name of the PIAPS an acceptable sub for swearing?)

ROFL

Hard working tax payers' money at rest (lying down no less).

The word has multiple uses: Horse Hillary is another favorite (thanks sneakypete) term of mine. Liberals get really really pissed at that one.
