We will now have equality at the front lines of battle just like we may soon have the notion that having two daddies is equal to having a mother and father and that all having equally downgraded medical care is better than many having exceptional care.

Why be concerned that our fighting capacity may be seriously impaired with a young woman and man packed into a foxhole?

Or that physical standards to entering the force will be reduced to accommodate weaker women?

Or that natural sexual attraction will inevitably occur and be distractive in battle?

We must realize that we are dealing with a religion called leftism and among many of its dogmas is equality uber alles.

The more we understand the religion of the left, the better we are at confronting its implications to our country.
