I don’t think the “diversity” knucklehead crowd in the Pentagon is really all that concerned about the health of their female sailors. “Diversity” and “social engineering” in number one on the military’s list of priorities right now.
At that level they are more politicians than military officers when working with Congress. Say the right thing and you get promoted. Say the wrong thing and your career of pet project goes in the dumps. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is in control so women on subs is a great idea.
it will achieve their goal of making the military less ready, less able to project force in the world
