Elaine Donnelly of the conservative Center for Military Readiness and a vocal critic of allowing female soldiers to go into combat said the survey asked the wrong questions and should have been asking if troops favor it and whether it will make a more effective force.
a) Do you agree with her assertion about what question marines should have been asked in the survey? Why or why not?

b) Ms. Donnelly said that the questionnaire also relied on the "mistaken belief" that training standards will remain the same, which she said is not realistic given the differing physical abilities between the genders. She said the Pentagon is bent on imposing gender-based quotas that will drive down standards. Defense leaders say standards will not be lowered.
"The results that are being put out there are designed to manage public perception," she said. "There is a lot about this that still needs to be discussed and it's really not fair to the women who serve out there."
Do you agree? Explain your answer.
