    The military is strongly behind giving military women and military spouses every avenue toward family planning because to do so keeps enlistment and reenlistment numbers up. Remember that the DOD has historically been the most progressive agency of the Federal Government.

      Your second sentence reminds me of this incident that clearly distinguishes the professional, pragmatic attitude of the current military leadership from the culture war bullshit that is endemic in Congress.

      I hope the DOD doesn’t end up damaged by becoming a political football.
