Let me first try to help you with the cut and paste function. It is often better to insert the URL into your threads than pasting the entire article (simply because of additional characters that tag along). So, here is how to do it with little to no effort. While you are on the page, simply right click your mouse and select "copy address" and then to paste it into your thread, again right click your mouse and select "paste." If you just have to copy a paragraph, then place your cursor at the start of the paragraph or article, hold down the shift key and go to the end of the paragraph or article, right mouse click and select "copy" or simply hold your "Cnt" and hit the letter "c" and to paste it, at the point you wish to place the paragraph or article, simply hold down the "Cnt" key and type the letter "P" or use your right mouse button and select "paste."
Now about the Army encouraging women to cover their heads while in the Middle East, I do not have a problem with showing respect for other people's beliefs. It does not cause harm to our service member's to be polite. If your were in Japan, you would not sit and show the soles of your shoes to your host. When in Greece you do not "wave" with your fingers extended. And if you are in India, you never touch another person with your left hand. Also, you never tip when in Japan no matter how good the service. If in Ireland, never flash the "peace sign" and there are more customs.. it is like having a visitor in your home, you certainly would be offended if they put their feet up on your furniture. It is a matter of manners, nothing more.

I swear I'm going to learn to cut and paste so I can post the actual articles. Until then, all I can do is offer a description of what's of concern, and leave it up to those interested, to learn more. Google soldiers required to don women's clothing. Perhaps, because I don't see every post initiated, this subject has been covered. Anyway, for those who haven't heard of this program, the army has adopted, I think it will be of interest.
