Why are we even engaging in this politically correct nonsense?????

Is this FreeRepublic or DU?

There is nothing wrong with servicemen.

"...all men are created equal..." applies to both genders.

I agree with you, but the gender police have made it difficult if not impossible to maintain generic use of perfectly good words like "servicemen".

***There is nothing wrong with servicemen***

My thoughts exactly. While I was sitting here trying to come up with examples where in the past age of sanity both men and women were included in the term "man" or "men", you beat me to it. The real world does not need to change on someones' whim. The more we lose sight of the anchors of this republic, the farther astray we go into meaninglessness.
