in the very definition of our defense. Fuck them, in the most unloving definition of the term.

when the army dissolved the Womans Army Corps and integrated the Corps into the regular army. Some grousing from the senior ranks (of my command), but overall it was pretty well accepted at the junior officer and enlisted ranks.

So NOW they're on the side of preserving and protecting history and context while ignoring ALL veterans?

They can't keep their stories straight.

When did chip roy wear the uniform?

How many of these guys have worn the uniform?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some opinions count more than others. That is just the way life is. If you have not worn the uniform, why don't you just sit this one out?

Women have been serving with distinction in the military for a long damn time. Their service has earned them this honor.

YEARS of advocacy??? Just to change a couple of pronouns? What a FUCKING waste of resources.

May those misogynistic, sexist, woman-hating thugs receive everything they deserve.

I expect no less from them. Once a proud party is now in full decline with no end in sight.

and they revel in it. I served with females throughout my Naval Career. They were my bosses, subordinates, peers. They were my friends, shipmates, problem solvers, mentors, goat locker occupiers. And if dumbass Tuberville ever does the right thing there will be a female FOUR STAR ADMIRAL appointed Chief of Naval Operations. This is more proof that conservatism is a cancer.

And to top off my anger. My wife of almost 50 years is a United States Navy Veteran. Proudly served. Impeccable record. What are you going to do tomorrow republicans to make me hate you more?

The Republican Party is a disease designed to destroy freedom. Why? Hate, racism, Evil selfishness. And ignorance. If not for ignorance there would be no Republican Party.

Use these votes in ads against them. How many that voted against including female veterans and the sacrifices their families make have served in the military. Shame on all of them.

Women that have been involved one way or another in every conflict and war this nation fought from Monmouth Battlefield to the deserts of the Middle East, on the land, sea and air. The hyperbole of Lincolns speech is their reason. Disgusting
