Everyone here knows exactly why this decision was made, and it had nothing to do with impact on combat rediness.

You have obviously never served in a combat unit. (going to make an assumption here, feel free to correct me).

So let them serve in a non-combat role, put them in admin or whatever. Trumps basically saying in no way shape or form will they serve period.

No- dated someone in the Navy for 4 years, but, in fairness, it was the navy. He was rarely even on a ship, let alone in combat.

But whether or not I- or you- have been a part of a combat unit is irrelevant. It doesn't negate the research that was intitiated and run through the US Military.

This disgusting move was done for purely political reasons, and it flies in the face of the conclusions the Military had already reached on the subject.

Holy shit. I think that's the first time I actually laughed at something time4fun said, instead of just laughing at her.

I know lots of guys that served in the Navy that were never on ships. They were called Navy Corpsman, and they'd fucking die for you.

Not to act as a testing ground for every new social idea or issue that comes up. Anything that detracts from readiness, cohesiveness, and combat power is to be avoided.

The army was actually very forward thinking when it comes to "social ideas". They were one of the first organizations to allow blacks to serve in integrated units. The same arguments about "readiness, cohesiveness and combat power" were used against blacks, too.

The disgusting move I see. Is a continued attempt to weaken the U.S. military services through forced social experimentation. When the country can take care of the Veterans all ready under their care for wounds suffered through service. Then maybe it will be time to look at spending more funds on issues such as this. But for now. The issue is settled. The CIC took recommendations from the Joint Chiefs. Case closed. I hear there will be jobs in construction on the southern border soon.
