Superbly stated. I agree 100% with every word.
Thanks. I think there are a lot of us out there, both men and women, that can agree on this, and for many different reasons. Good reasons can have a practical, traditional, historical, and religous basis. Our military should be used to protect our shores and national security by destroying our enemies, and the focus of all training and tactical deployments ought to be geared towards that. There is no place in that effort for trying to make our military mirror civilian society.
