The military is trying to compromise. What I understand is, they've upped the weight limits, and physical fitness requirements are now less stringent; they're taking more olds; and as far as smarts go, IQ schmy-cue. Gays are just a bridge too far, Prommie!

And a round of vodka butt shots for everyone. Wait, vodka is frowned upon by our local allies too?
A veritable Confederacy of dunces.
Sister [slash] Mother. The plot thickens.
