The military has long had these policies. Certain branches in the military, and those include the Military Police and the JAG Corps, are made up mostly of GFW's (look it up at Kim du Toit's site) and led by girls (of both XY and XX chromosomes, but girls nonetheless).
Not surprising that it's from these branches that the military's gun grabbers, and the Democrats' "veteran" candidates, come from.
"What did you do in the Army, granpa? Were you a hero in Iraq?"
"No, grandson, I was a lawyer in Alaska, safe and comfortable, working about 20 hours a week to try to put soldiers in Leavenworth for possessing handguns."
However, every Army lawyer we can have in Alaska trying to screw the troops, is one who isn't in the combat zone trying to aid the enemy.

More typically the Democrats get their veterans from the Navy I believe, but that is just anecdotal. Duckworth comes to mind as a soldier who may be elected and will be a liberal. Sadly, the republicans in that district have a tough time finding somebody who was man enough to serve in uniform.
