Thank you very kindly for your invaluable comments. I hope you don't mind if I save them for future threads. Your personal experience, knowledge of history, and eloquent writing style should convince everyone except the most die-hard uberfanatic feminists that your position is the correct one.
And thank you for your service to your country!
Thank you. I appreciate your graciousness and hope that my essay is useful to whaever purpose that you see fit. I hope that a saner policy will make use of women in roles that are most suitable for the MILITARY MISSION and not the FEMINIST AGENDA!!!
