"Certain girlie men in the Pentagon, pushed by various community activists and connivers in Congress, have been trying to feminize the warrior class for years, first by finding ways to sneak women into combat and now by opening the ranks to homosexuals. The gay blades found a judge in California (where else?) to declare "don't ask, don't tell" unconstitutional, but enforcing the spirit of gay law won't be as easy as those who get their understanding of the military culture from Harvard seminars and congressional budget hearings imagine it will.
Changing the rough-hewn military culture, which regards the ultimate military mission as killing people and breaking things if that is necessary to protect the country, will be particularly difficult because soldiers have always regarded lightfooted gaiety in the barracks as something, not to put too fine a point on it, very icky."
