Is Complexity a Necessity

Is Complexity A Necessity Do you think standards they wanted to lower And women we allowed to do actions slower Have more time to cover up each mistake By a few of the rules having had to break. What difference is standards did people decide Or how many of them did they have to hide Free ride for anyone never were deserving Still loyal to their country women are serving. Maybe bright, shiny badge now are wearing Met existing Ranger Standards and are caring About what others may think but still seems sex Is an apparent issue that continues to be complex. If I am in battle dying, am I going to see what sex soldier is before I ask them to save me. I doubt it. To me, she is there at the right place, at the right time with the right thing regardless of sex. We both have the courage to be there and I am thankful she will have the courage to help me.
