In this political correct environment that were in, who do you think has the power? What do you think will happen to you if you express a totally normal opinion about a homosexual or woman getting special treatment? What does an 18 year male do when his homosexual company commander propositions him in boot camp? How do you handle working for someone not qualified for the position but promoted due to political correctness (Ive got the t shirt for that one)? No thanks.
And that leaves us where as a country? The military is one of the places where people learn things are not always rosy in life and there are challenges, roadblocks and things we don't like all day long. It teaches how to adapt and overcome. But, just because we don't like something about it, we're going to advise others to stay out? Doesn't bode well for us, then. It will ultimately be our fault.
