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.
