The Navy has already shown too much willingness to bend on other traditions and customs.

That changes as of noon on January 20.

The goal of the job title review . . . is to make women feel more included

I see the problem right there.

Don't they realize that calling women "women" is just another degrading attempt by the patriarchy to keep them down. Why, the word "women" has "men" right in the middle of it.

From now on the Obamunists need to start calling them "wo" instead.

That'll fix everything.

how about ‘midshipsissies’? Mad Dog needs to address these maggots and say “You’re in the freaking military- ACT LIKE IT! Stop your damned whining! This isn’t a day care center-”

“midshipperson”

Huperson. As in, the huperson race. And hupersonity.
And woperson. The plural would be wopeople.
Anything to avoid saying “man.”

The rank of Commodore is one star and has an interesting on-again off-again history.
