Crazy idea.
The battle over homosexuals in the military was lost, and the battle over females in combat is being lost, because we are compelled to argue the issues through the lens of liberalism.
What I mean by that is, the liberals view these military matters as issues of “civil rights” or “equal rights” as would be applied in civilian life. The liberals do not make allowance for the fact that the military has specific missions to carry out, and that the military is very different from civilian life. The liberals say it is “discrimination” to not allow females in combat, or to be Navy Seals, or to disallow homosexuals in the military, but they are not considering the mission of the military as they argue these points.
And with a liberal media filter, the issues are presented to the American people as issues of fairness, civil rights, equality, etc. as if the military were civilian life. Such discrimination would no be allowed in civilian life, so the liberals state, so how can the military justify such discrimination????
That’s where we are, in my opinion. We are left to discuss the issues from a liberal point of view which states that any regulations of who may do what military tasks are discrimination, and that the military are put on the defensive to justify themselves. It’s a crazy way to make military policy, in my opinion.
