all his life ( dad retired) and yes, kelly has stupid old views of women...they are the old guard. my husband has been fighting them since he was a wee little LT...and won, but women, and especially black women have had a hard road. By him saying and acting as he did, has hurt women in the military, and women spouses...I'm not "sacred" I'm a partner in our lives. He decided he would support the asshole instead of military members and their families...unacceptable...we are not fragile, we are strong, but we will give...and left out all the men who have significant others in the military.
