If you had to stand more watches because of an outdated, discriminatory policy that never had any proof to support it being in place in the first place, you'd see how it can affect some people.
Not to mention, we are supposed to live in the greatest, most free country in the world, yet we still have this policy that promotes intolerance and discrimination. That looks really bad on our country.
I served in the military from 1970-1976 so I have a pretty good idea about standing watch. There are a lot of things that some found discriminatory in the military and when there was a draft they may have had a point but not with the all volunteer military. No one is forcing anyone to enlist.
