    He admitted to homosexuality, which at the time was a criminal offense. He was only pardoned in 2013 after an internet campaign resulted in a petition to the government to have him pardoned.

    While he had indeed contributed a lot to the war effort, he wasn't a celebrity or a well-known war hero, and didn't have any of the political connections or clout to get out of a legal issue like this.

    Yes, that is correct. So, do you have a question? You haven't asked one as required by forum rules. Anything other than a question is considered "chat" and a reportable offense.
