I’m saying that the move had nothing to do with readiness and everything to do with politics.    I don’t know about you but ALL I care about is military readiness and effectiveness.   In my mind you establish a standard of what is required anyone man woman, purple blue green black or white that can meet that standard can serve in that role.   If you DONT MEET those standards then you spend time serving somewhere you will.   If you don’t meet those standards you don’t serve.
