   Nothing's wrong with it if you ask people who can think. . .   
      
   But the new generat8ions want to update it because it has tge line "in all   
   thy  sons' command" in it.   
      
   Not getting that this is singing about the time of Confederation (1867) when    
   women just didn't go to war.  They didn't want to, & men didnt want them to   
   be  any closer to the risks than they could fight to keep it away.   
      
   That made sense, actually, as women & children are far more important to the    
   survival of a species or social grouping(e.g. country)   
      
   Now, though, women fgo to war alongside men, but ony have to carry a pack 65%    
   as heavy.   
      
   Who do you want at your back when you're hunkered down trying to survive   
   being  behind enemy lines -- one with the full complement of arms, ammo, &   
   other  supplies, or one with just 65% of a load?
