Expectations contingent upon realistic performance-based standards should be the sole norm - hell, I would've made a lousy cook, clerk, piccolo player, etc.

Gates flew to Duke University to give a speech on the state of the all-volunteer military, warning the force could become alienated over time from the rest of society, with recruits and bases concentrated in more rural, conservative areas.

Perhaps the good secretary (who I find I dislike more with each public speech) should take a quick look at a population map of the US and see how much of our nation is rural vs. urban.
