The Best a Man Can Get: It's time for my future ex-lover to show what he's made of as Jake Plummer and the Denver Broncos take on the Ben Roethlisberger and Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday's AFC title game in the Battle of the Beards. (AP)

Interesting. The writer makes a convincing case regarding these apparent end-runs around anti-discrimination law. I'm really on the fence, though. In my gut I feel that the Jewish military man is full of beans. (And if the new mother can do the job better than anyone else, bring her on.)
The Jewish man *shouldn't* have to choose between God and the Air Force, but that's the way it is. Maybe such military regulations seem silly to outsiders, but so do the customs of many religions. He belongs to two minority groups (the military and Jews who wear the yarmulke) by choice. Then he was forced to choose between one arbitrary custom and another. Maybe I could see the real injustice in that if I were more religious.
Then again, is the choice part all that important? If people did choose to be black or gay, would they deserve any of the abuse and discrimination they've endured?
