There is a couple of situations I had been in where I would have felt uncomfortable- not insecure, but as a whole I would have dealt with it. Its just my opinion there is going to be many who wont deal with or deal with it in ways that will cause problems. The CNN survey shows the general public in favor of lifting the policy, but a majority of the military is still opposed to it.
Seaver there are females that can hold to the same standards. Do you really think that is the only reason they are being held back?
Ofcourse I dont believe in segregation of races in the armed forces. In fact Ithink its a great place to show how poeple of all ethnic backgrounds can work effectively with one another. Im only offering my opinion based on my experience, I think its going to lead to greater discrimination and more problems.
