...in the last five years, we have lost 49 nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare specialists, 90 nuclear power engineers, 52 missile guidance and control operators, 150 rocket, missile and other artillery specialists, and 340 infantrymen. We've also lost 88 linguists, many of whom are expert in interrogation. It seems to me that this policy is stupid and cruel in peacetime. It's madness when we are at war.

Comments:
In our society, at large and in the military, we can not afford to get rid of specialized personnel based on a facet of life that should not interest anyone in the workplace. We cut our own throats when important assignments are left to lesser personnel and for what - sex. That just does not make any sense.
