The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Conway, honestly expressed his concerns to Congress last week while most of the other bureaucrats in the Pentagon are busy protecting their careers. I have 2 sons in the military who will be counting the days until they can get out if this horrible exercise in political correctness is inflicted upon our services.

That's not entirely accurate. The Army Chief of Staff, as well as the current Secretary of the Army (former Republican Congressman, John McHugh) both were critical of the decision in a Congressional hearing last week; It was quite clear that both thought it a poor idea.
