I guess the following song is obsolete:
Men, men, men,
We're a ship all full of men,
So throw your condoms over board there's nothing here but men!

There was a rather extensive thread over the past several days about women getting into Ranger School. My final take on it was this:
In 5 years after women join the Rangers/SEALS/Delta/(I add in Subs here) you will hear talking heads in and out of the military who will say things like:
NEWS ANCHOR/POLITICIAN/MILITARY COMMANDER: When we integrated women and homosexuals into these units, people were saying it was going to be a disaster, that it would hurt mission capability, morale and such. We are more capable now than we have ever been, and have the moral buttress of diversity and equality. Remember how they said the same thing about the military when blacks were going to be integrated back in 1946? Same result here...the world didnt end, and it wont. It was the right thing to do, and we can all be proud of the diversity we now see.
I HATE it when I am right, and this quickly, too.

In the sewer pipe service, there’s nothing that can’t be accomplished with an appropriate CNO order and a few cases of FDS.

I've little doubt you're correct about what the talking heads will be saying, but that sure doesn't make it true.
I doubt seriously we'll be hearing about the tragedy's this will cause and the cost regarding military readiness.
Flying fighter planes is one thing, even being a part of crews in larger aircraft but when it comes to subs, ground pounders, Rangers/SEALS/Delta it's a whole different story.
