I hope it's true, Will, but for some reason I don't feel as if it's going to happen. Let's hope this stupid policy is cut down. Also, I think it should be a requirement that soldiers have at least a semester of college. That could help weed out some really pathetic people who got in because of one test (ASVAB).

I think there needs to be a big overhaul of the military. We still have a lot of outdated nonsense on the books. I see no reason why women cannot serve as Infantry or other direct combat branches. Jessica Lynch's story definitely shows the need for infantry training for women. Gun jammed after one shot? Sounds like poor weapon cleaning, not to blame her so much as her training was probably very inadequate.

What's really funny is how some of the most successful soldiers were gay. Alexander the Great, the Spartans (turns out the Athenians weren't the only boy lovers...), Samurai warriors, etc.

I didn't know about homosexual equality among the samurai. Interesting.

I could be wrong but didn't they engage in buttsecks because of the idea "Why do an inferior female when there is an equal male here."

I know the Shinto priest had something like that in practice...Chigos or something.

This is good news and Obama HAS to now if he wants to get elected again.

Yep, I read in one of my history books that the [city-state that conquered Spartan, forget who]ian army was composed mostly of homosexual couples.

Yeah......Xerxes didn't look like that and I imagine he liked dipping his wick in a girl.
