Army LT Caleb Campbell returning to military duty

The policy allowing Caleb Campbell to play pro football in lieu of traditional military duties for a new second lieutenant has been rescinded, and LT Campbell now has to leave the Detroit Lions and return to the uniform.

A young Army officer ought to be leading soldiers, allowing a West Point graduate special treatment in order to play pro sports was the wrong policy in the first place, and LT Campbell can still start his pro sports career in 2010, but fixing the problem this way is a PR mess.
