but as is pointed out in post #6 this was very new to the military and they were still reeling from Vietnam.

Women were getting into all kinds of formerly verboten territories and the service academies (plus VMI) were seen as the last impenatrable actual castles of the old way. Only 3 years in him having this opinion was not rare at all....truth be told it still isn't but that is a whole other issue.

I just love that there was no hmmming and hawing. His campaign knows what they are doing. Every peep from Allen gets an immediate and overwhelming response. Other Dems really need to learn from this.
