The USS Illinois. I guess this is one of the perks when liberals get to be in charge or our military they can conduct as many social experiments they wish and ensure our military is PC. Is the USS Cesar Chavez crewed by an all hispanic crew? Wonder what the USS Harvey Milk's crew will consist of?

"First Lady Michelle Obama has agreed to sponsor a future submarine named after her home state that will be staffed by an all-female crew. The White House has announced that Mrs Obama has accepted an invitation to be the backer of the USS Illinois, a Virginia-class submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut, and Newport News, Virginia.

The new nuclear-powered boat is expected to join the fleet in late 2015."

Why should I really care the gender of staff on a submarine. If you have a problem with subs being all one gender then where are your posts complaining about all male submarines.

I think you're talking out of both sides of your mouth yet again.

You don't staff a ship full of all whatever. You get your orders and off you go. Not so in the new PC military.

No I wasn't. I don't even like subs. Was gonna let the navy pay for me to go to school and be a nuclear engineer until I learned I would have to pull sub duty for two year most likely. No thanks.

That's a load of BS. What gender were subs traditionally staffed with? It was just one and I don't recall you complaining about it. Again, stop contradicting yourself.

No the real question is does it make a damn bit of difference as long as the crew is effective in carrying out its missions?

This is discrimination against men.

But it is "OK" because liberals are doing the discriminating.

Hypocrites.
