She shouldn't have to give up on it, no, but she also shouldn't have to sit around waiting for them to maybe change their minds in another year or so. She's probably better off telling West Point to go to hell and graduating from Yale.

Okay, it's been HOW MANY FUCKING DAYS/MONTHS/WTF-EVER? FUCKING FINISH THE GODDAMN REPEAL, FUCKING A.

Guess what, that time period where it wasn't being enforced at all? NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED. There was a website countdown to that effect.

I still do not get why it is so fucking hard to say THIS DIRECTIVE IS STRICKEN FROM THE BOOKS, STOP FUCKING DOING IT, PERIOD. There you go. Given an lawful order from higher ups, and you execute it. IT'S NOT FUCKING HARD, IT'S WHAT THE MILITARY IS TRAINED TO DO. If they don't execute it properly, YOU TAKE DISCIPLINARY ACTION. Holy shit, difficult fucking concept, goddamn.
