My experience is that the military is heavily optimized for the mainstream. Anything outside of that requires a lot of effort to get through the normal channels. I don't see the result to be the effect of discrimination so much as inertia.

I will note that the article documents individual prejudice, which is wrong. There is, however, no documentation of institutional prejudice. There is a strong implication that the matter of losing his certification was a pretense for getting it revoked, but without facts that only demonstrates an editorial mode.
