  4. Surprise, surprise.
    I remember one top brass admitting that opening all service roles to women had worried him much more because having lots of young horny straight people jumbled up together with the opposite sex was potentially much more explosive. The point is obvious to all but irrational homophobes. And, yes, I believe that both sexes should have the right to serve at every level.

    They may be a late entry for this. But lets give credit where credit is due. The US military made the transition under it’s own power.
    The UK armed forces would have continued with the descrimination were it not for intervention from the European Court in the late 90s.

    Definitely something I should expect from US politicians. Unlike the anti-gay Republicans!
