The long -- a lot I don't really care about the PC aspect. It's about organizational. -- how about them so that when you're at high alert what are your it -- Your prophet of movement not and you want it more all women are pretty service. It is when he walked into court it's about people who Amber's -- -- you know -- brought -- Korean War torture it's about. Well that person now it's not in all of them out. It is. What they are sick -- -- problem we always have a small percentage of -- and -- person and not a UN happy but. One point at one location and it won't. More from the all personnel don't buy it here gender neutral it's not a seat that you're trying to make -- I don't disagree without that they. But I think again an example copper. It's -- -- moving all the -- so I am so that apple doesn't ticket she. And I'll let me and talked about if you sprinkle an eighteen hopefully being like this you aren't like. -- -- I think winning at any luck is always much longer I hate grown -- it's -- and now. Look at cog in the machine circuit board in all week. Instead of -- Arnold. So that whoever it typical -- that out the form -- out of it. And joy in orbit to -- facilitate. Rapid movement personnel. Why did they have to remove the Arnold died because look at the woman who heads. Starting line waited ten million women waiting to use the bathroom and has no one in the men's -- my problem watching. Design and I'm very different way and other things space. All you want me alt can't I did but you know I don't. All of you and I have a problem -- to -- into the -- of how do you. You're not thinking so what happens in twenty years what all of that is shipped out what Peter -- respect emails if you planned it. Now -- is different I mean I don't understand your point give DeWitt and trying to ship our goal anti you got that image available available locked it up. But to tell us that this is somehow gonna cut down -- sexual harassment. -- That's what it's about more than a personality -- trying to -- all of. -- -- It's partly about. Also Richard you and I figured yeah amber at -- crap that's what. So and well your respect issue -- -- so what did you ever seen doing bodily aren't ansari -- the reality. Deep spectral I -- not a. Okay dialogue majesty that -- I appreciate your point of view Ankiel. And you are next on an -- -- show I mean it is trying to say that hey this east actually like everybody makes. Is sex on a warship. You buy an apple Sony and. That and I at this QGQ were -- return to contradicting their guy and some of the statements I like to ask you. What makes you qualified to design anything on a battleship on play devil's advocate here I'm not only. I say that I'm and a designer -- navy warships and saying that -- creed gender neutral -- -- is absurd and it's it's time that we are thinking about things that at. I think not on my high priority list when we have Syria and Russia amassing some sort of chemical you know. Cache of web weapons somewhere and we are in war in Iraq and Afghanistan and you have the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt I'm not thinking about the gender neutral bathrooms he gives me if that's low on my priority list and -- A lot. -- now what have to do and what did the idea that we have had women in the military cut quite a long time bring in. I kind of -- time my grandmother was the United States Marines are cleaned have a narrow. So we'll get women in the military. For as long as I have been alive and we had ever had to have gender neutral bathrooms and a warship before. This is ludicrous and we we want I don't I did states of America. People who soldiers meet duke in you don't think governments create gender neutral bathrooms -- all the Arnold. So that. We acknowledge it you one big happy -- he women have me do. Well in that world prologue time and Michelle yes. Quote quote proposed you know. But it was at dinner or and or women in the know. People and the Obama administration had proposed that these people coming up and we merit or one. That means you're sick -- pretty ridiculous and now. You're gonna buy a house of want to get home back to you if you want one in every eight identifying. -- don't eat out. Then you are now aren't I am I -- -- thanks for the call -- -- next welcome. I doubt. That then it on the ship that that creation -- water. Lot are closet I liked -- WC. Or where it's located on ship. They use the net. When. Probably gonna. One. Nobody is going to wa wa state. I want to say that now because someone will be offended -- and that means that you're gonna get some sort of to -- why he'll be I don't find itself in some sort of military hot water if you actually use the word had because someone a file a complaint in everyone's gonna be offended and it's just waving you want the united states military to go in. We've not -- out on some of the older people should say -- -- you want your late -- trough. And there. I feel fairly park trucks bring him back. Right will be exactly what -- as it was just like fuel our props you know they would just -- lineup and have to do at this rate there. In the -- Exactly and think -- it's the cost but did his best way we can spend the military budget paramedic John Kerry. Why angled a bunch of money out of the military budget to build the ridiculous Ted Kennedy memorial over -- -- -- which by the way is gonna be right next to the other Kennedy memorial we already have. This the guy who die with millions in his campaign koppers whose wife is rich is opium is rich in the taxpayers are on the hook for this is. Memorial today Ted Kennedy over in -- And they took John Kerry did they earmarked money out of the military budget is best expenditure. Of the military budget -- now put in gender neutral bathrooms which by the way I think Joseph you probably about an idea he's in birthing areas that not. In a combat positions. Well date two them in on that. Most of them are positioned and usually when they are being. Email and they try to say in the Euro area out. Hypothetically. Maybe. Eighty water closet that is primarily. Not the designated as. Primarily because it bought that section of of the -- that they. Now let me -- you in a combat situation with somebody if you're a female sailor -- any. And you are are your -- seller it's even matter we go to the back and that's absolutely absurd that was spending time on that's. And -- gonna have gender neutral shower areas -- -- actress for everybody. Or. Joking you think of anything else ethnic in the military just a little too soft -- today's these days. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And we lost -- did you with us. Used things abroad in schools now he can't have a cupcake you can offend anybody because some singing and get arrested by the please. That's in public schools to military to be run Mikey kid public school what they can't bring snack. From home. The that we would all involved. I ever show great show like first. I like I agree review in China disagree a little bit. I totally agree that in some ways it does seem satellite. Justice occasion of America is encroaching in the military a little bit. Well it is -- might feel like as time goes on women aren't going to be more more comprising more more steps on the ships. So I guess in that space where space is limited infrastructure is very limited in plumbing is very difficult to coordinate. I guess it doesn't make sense out. You know at sixty or 70% the order disabilities being your uncles. All Levy accessible to 201. Gender -- right now we don't really notice. Ever -- -- what are have you Arnold and all Paul that's the problem I don't have -- I don't have an issue Paula. With the military saying hey everybody can use all the bathrooms which is what women do anyhow trust me. But I do have an issue with the idea that now women and now men are expected to what sit down aim at its key. Me you know this ships moving you better have pretty good game. Well crucial put it this -- ago what are secure once we reach a point in the future where we say we get to the port 50% of the steps of the ships are women. 70% of the places where you can go to the -- -- your -- -- the -- the toilets. No word that they make it so you know I mean can use the toilet but what you're using your at all. I feel like there if we. As women and it might as well makes sense now to start moving in the direction to a building facility ever accuse. I did feel like Tim Doherty extending deputy when you doing Tuesday and now that's every you're only handed. Flooding Google's -- about the problem with that. Why do about that -- all our oh. That's initiative the military can be sure Nolan is defending everyone's taking care -- I don't think women who -- the military -- and that is apparently looking to be coddled that's not what -- this. I'm as -- we are AM six -- of Iraq now there's a reason why I hate most weddings and getting wider economic impact. Then it's. That is.
