But the thing is, women ARE ALREADY serving in combat rolls, against the law, as I understand it. Books are already on the bookstore shelves written by women who have served in combat or combat-like rolls in the Gulf conflict. Female chopper pilots are already missing legs from combat missions.
Who's kidding who here?!
When my sons registered for selective service, they wrote letters to all of their elected representatives, as well as to the Department of Defense, and a copy went along to Selective Service, conscientiously objecting to serving with sodomites, females in combat, females in co-ed dormitories or barracks, wearing UNO blue, and having their personal Christian witness squelched while in service.
No, my sons did not conscientiously object to bearing arms and fighting in defense of the nation. They conscientiously objected to serving with known sodomites, females in combat (or combat-like roles), wearing a uniform or insignia other than USA uniforms and insignia (e.g. UNO blue), or serving where they are told that they may not personally and openly witness for their Saviour.
One of their points is : Imagine serving in a military in which one can openly be a sodomite, but not openly profess one's faith in Jesus Christ.
The US Military never was an institution of religion as you imply. It is a secular establishment that blows things up and kills those who fight against us. Religion is a personal option that is entirely up to the individual.
Our society has changed and the Military has also changed along with it. It is what it is..........
