A mighty subversive lot, eh?

How about asking whether they have the "right" informed views?  How about
asking whether the government has the sense to recognize that their concept
of "armed forces" (all women, all men, men in charge, women in charge,
gender-blind or whatever) is the better one?

Do the correspondents on this list have the courage to admit that Operation
Rescue is just an activist form of citizenship?
