While this is certainly a big decision, we can't see we didn't see it coming sooner or later. One thing is for sure, this is will definitely impact the military in a big way.We would love to hear what our fans have to say about this, let us know what you think in the comments or on social media! Is this a good change, or bad, and why?[mwi-cat-listing cat="94" ppp="4" cols="4" desc="false" type="view" btn_color="black" ]
