re: #436 DeafDog

I fear the loss of effectiveness in the military if this issue gets pushed into place.

Which other armed forces are you referring to and what’s your evidence that there has been no loss of effectiveness?

That is the same argument given for resisting race and gender integration. While it will cause ripples, this is something that will have to be done eventually, and there is never a “good” time for an upheaval. Since we can expect the MSM to blare the trumpets from the mountain tops (or at least throw a few wine and cheese parties) when it happens, there is no avoiding an upheaval now or for the foreseeable future. I expect that it won’t happen until we are out of Iraq however, and maybe Afghanistan.
