I am speaking of a aggressive attacking combat unit. There is a major difference. I will not wake up to the fact that my daughter could be placed in harms way and I had a chance to do something about it. I have championed the rights of the women in my life. I will continue to do so. For me, it is almost a moot point. You can rest assured that I will have many a discussion with my granddaughters over the folly of joining the Military. My daughter is one of the most liberated women you would ever want to meet. She is a extension of what I believe. My wife was also a very liberated woman. You may chastise me for saying "My" Daughter. But she is, and as her father I will voice my disdain for any thing that could be a detrimental to her life. Sounds trite, dosent it? A Father trying look out for his family and not have them caught up in some politically correct movement. As along as you have men like me around that love the women in their life, you will have this disagreement.
And if your daughter(s) disagree and defy you and your demands then what?
