Our young men, having seen that our roughest, toughest combat soldier (Lynch) was a woman, according to our Party and the press, know that our country doesn't need men any more. They're also learning from their friends and relatives that all soldiers must be single for life to avoid depression and suicide while overseas (natural human reaction to being betrayed by a spouse or girlfriend, which these days, is essentially a spouse). Thus, we will be getting yet more "confirmed bachelors" and "confirmed bachelorettes" in our military.

Rome had such policies just before it fell. And as for the military? I would not do it again under the present circumstances. I would demand a return to traditional (say, 1700s) divorce policy and an end to U.S. lies about Amazons in our military.

What you said is so bizarre. Are you quoting someone?

Are you channeling somebody?

Okay, maybe I'm missing the obvious here, but (1) what exactly are the 1700s divorce policies, and (2) I haven't met any Amazons in 24 years in the Navy so please explain this as well.
