Well written and detailed opinion by a Marine Corps (Or 'Corpse' as the Commander in Chief calls it), Officer.

Excellent.
Only if ALL soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines meet the same physical standard will there be true “equality”. Giving the women an option not available to the men (meeting a different standard) is the EPITOME of inequality.

Thank you for your service and your courage, Capt. Petronio.

As a Citizen I apologize in advance for both the discharge and the severe media bludgeoning that are surely headed your way.

I do not understand the idea that gays and women somehow have a guaranteed right to serve in America's armed forces. My uncle was rejected from military service because he had a damaged kidney from a car accident. My dad went Coast Guard C-130 Search and Rescue because the Air Force told him he was to tall to fly.

This idea that every single person has a right to live any life they want and never be offended or rejected is STUPID.

When I was a toddler I had a game with painted wood blocks that fit into different shaped holes. Maybe we should make those games available to liberals that are not able to grasp the concept of being judged on ability and character.

And stop over using the word FAIR. Life is not fair. Changing rules or lowering standards in the "name" of fairness will never make it so. In fact every piece of legislature that includes the word "fairness" in it should be burned and it's author removed from office.
