The same foolery foisted on the DoD in December 2015, which I warned about going back 18 years ago. Only to have idealistic nitwits, give strawman arguments on making such a distrasous and detrimental move. (Not one Admiral or general requested a change to the policy then.) The unilateral decision was just another leftist, fantasy of social engineering. Just as the response to this event exhibited.
A peace time rally, is one thing. Frontline combat will have NO such room for shortcomings of any type...
