Alva Video

Jake Tapper interviews Staff Sgt. Eric Alva, a wounded soldier who lost a finger and a leg for his country. Hearing him brings the injustice home. Alva, who told many of his peers that he was gay in the Iraq war and got along fine with his fellow soldiers, is regarded by the president as a threat to the military's effectiveness. He's not. He's a hero. And it's appalling that a man who has done so much for his country continues to be treated like a second-class citizen.
