And I guess you have to be a little removed from military 'culture' to realize just how much anyone in uniform tends to bitch about change in what they see as 'the way it ought to be', no matter how many long-term advantages it offers.
Ya' griped about female fighter pilots, but it worked. Ya' griped about female surface ship officers, but it worked. Etc etc etc.
But that's the secret of the US military: get its members to stop griping, and they can make anything work. Step one is always a challenge though.
