No militarization without representation. More women should be admitted into the workings of our government. I remember the "Watergate" hearings, which only had two women, current New York Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton (named by her mom after the famous Mt. Everest climber, Edmund Hillary who came to talk at in my third grade class in Centereach, NY over 40 years ago) and former Representative Elizabeth Holtzman, surely we could use more women in government. I went to high school in Selden, NY which is named after a judge, who testified as a character witness at Susan B. Anthony's trial, she had posed as a man to vote, before that right was won for women. We had the first Marine Corps JROTC said in the US there but no women were in it then. Someone should investigate the now 20,000 said to be in mostly poor school districts and see how many have women enrolled (at last count "Defense Monitor" on PBS in 1990s, costing $1 billion a year) for officer training.
