American physician who, while serving in the US Navy and later, became famous for his humanitarian and anti-Communist political activism in Southeast Asia and the US. Tragic early death due to cancer. Authored three popular books that described his activities in Vietnam and Laos. Known to have operated several CIA-funded clinics in Laos. Sadly, Don't Ask Don't Tell came too late for Dooley. A 700-page investigative report had been prepared that led to his being forced to resign his Naval commission in 1956 due to homosexuality.
