Someone once said, when a country sends their wives and daughters to fight its war it will soon have neither. ...Or something like that.
“Fairness”... who does this general think he is, a five-year-old?
Gender-neutral standards? Obviously he’s fighting a war against reality because a) the vast majority of humans are either male xy or female xx, and b) it is precisely these chromosomal arrangements that decide the upper limits of strength of the fighting force.
How many BS surveys will be conducted/sent out to the troops to obtain feedback... feedback ostensibly used in order to formulate appropriate, workable policy?
It would be what those old FR threads about being Delphi-ed are all about. Institute whatever-the-h*ll policy they intend from the get-go, but keep a revolt down by making survey participants think that it was some sort of consensus within the ranks.
They’ll want honest feedback all right... so they’ll know what kind of opposition they face and can thus counter it effectively.
This one will be the ultimate “gender survey”... on steroids.
I wonder if this latest scheme is a follow-up to intergrating perverts. After all, the women are surely more welcoming (than normal males) of the catty, bitchy... er I mean chatty, crafty interior decorators in their midst.
This must be one of those generals who passed Obama’s “test” with flying colors.
