Berg III's effort to claim his basic constitutional rights of due process which evolved into an ordeal and a judicial case that attracted international attention. The inordinate actions taken by the United States Navy against Ensign Berg provide a shameful record of abuse of power and covert maneuvers to effect a vindictive discharge of the first naval officer to challenge the U.S. Navy's policy of categorically excluding people who are homesexual. |
