Bob,

Good reminder.

We get so obsessed about 'equality' though, we think that it is the same as 'identical'. It isn't. I see nothing wrong in using a little common sense and flexibility in something as simple as marching. But where do you draw the line - shorter people don't have to clear the 9' wall? Fine, but what if there is a 9' wall to be cleared on ops? Slightly built people don't have to carry so much weight? Great, who carries the extra instead then?
