Like it is now?
That's the problem with the liberal agenda, it's all about lowering the standard. It's happening not only in the military, but also immigration. We have too many illegals coming into the country, so the solution is to lower the requirements so they can be here legally.
And I love how supportive nsplayr is of "official policy" as long as he agrees with it! I guess it's OK to enforce someone else's opinion on others, but never the other way around!
Panetta's been a lackluster SecDef, and now he's trying to end his tenure with a bang (STS). I am reminded of a departing COCOM deputy commander whose going away speech was littered with all the things needing to be fixed in the command. Thanks, asshole, why didn't you address these problems when you'd still be around to deal with the consequences of your decisions?
Chickenshit politics, clearly enough.
And nsplayr, you can talk a good game; but deep down you are full of shit like every other liberal around.
Go to your account settings, and there is an 'Ignore' Preferences setting. Type in 'nsplayr' in the 'Add a new user to your list,' check the appropriate containers (Ignore: [ ] Posts [ ] Signature [ ]Messages [ ] Chats) and select 'Save Changes.'
If I get five bucks from everyone that does this to ignore nsplayr's posts, I'm taking the wife on a cruise!
