Absolutely, we will have to disagree. The womens lib thing has gone too far. That a man can't even put his arm on the shoulder of a woman is just stupid. Believe me, there was nothing but respect in those arms around the president or vice versa. There was nothing sexual about them. Be they from the women or the men.

I guess you would think a minister or priest should never put their arm around the shoulder of man or woman or child. I would disagree with that too. Same for teachers.

Yep.. we will just have to disagree on this one. We've had different experiences in life than you've had I guess.

We weren't speaking about the President's actions, which are above reproach, we were talking about the looseness of young women, who should act like the professional military they want to be. You said they put their heads on the President's shoulder and that is highly inappropriate.

The President of course is dearly loved by most of us. If he puts his arm around anyone's shoulders that is a far different scenario than what you originally described.

Women in today's military want it both ways. They want special privileges and still want respect. It just doesn't work that way. If they truly want equality they should stop acting loose. Lets return to decency.
