As that was never a requirement, regardless of your tenuous stretching of logic and 'fact', your entire argument fails.
In the 1950's, "military flight experience in high-performance jets" and "had penis" formed a perfectly circular Venn diagram. Until 1976, women weren't allowed to be military pilots, period.
It was not a literal requirement, but it was both a practical and technical one to the point where it might as well have been a literal requirement.
I remember decades ago when Masamune Shirow gave a similar justification for why, at the time, all of his trademark powered-armor suits were depicted as being piloted by well-oiled young women...
Anybody can still build in mountain view or wherever.
No they can't.

Even more mind-bogglingly, Mountain View is discussing new office development that would bring as many as 42,550 office workers to the city. But the city’s zoning plan only allows for a maximum of 7,000 new homes by 2030.
Actually, it seems that the judges couldn't do anything -- in the end they had to actually have police stake out his house in order to get any kind of submissible evidence.
Except, of course, that it was not "valid" at all.
"The final analyses from various subsequent inquiries concluded that in this context 'trick' was normal scientific or mathematical jargon for a neat way of handling data, in this case a statistical method used to bring two or more different kinds of data sets together in a legitimate fashion."
When you have to hide your own results, you're doing something wrong.
"The EPA notes that in fact, the evidence shows that the research community was fully aware of these issues and that no one was hiding or concealing them."
A lot of dedicated alarmists have tried to pretend that "the trick" was above-board... but it wasn't.
"...in this case a statistical method used to bring two or more different kinds of data sets together in a legitimate fashion." "...the evidence shows that the research community was fully aware of these issues and that no one was hiding or concealing them."
In any other field, if a scientist had tried this sort of thing to hide a bad result, they'd be in deep trouble.
"His point is that the goal of a business is to create a product, not to pay salaries."
Actually, on a broad scale, it's both. If enough businesses find ways to create products without paying salaries, before long they all go out of business.
The first armed responders to show up at the Fort Hood shooting were civilian base police. Aaron Alexis wasn't confronted with serious armed resistance until civilian police showed up -- just one guard that he apparently got the jump on. Tennesee armory: "Tennessee National Guard workers managed to take down a shooting suspect and hold him until police arrived..." Fort Bragg: "Minor said that the gunman, who was firing at them, turned away. And as he did, he and Sgt. Edward Mongold tackled the man. "It was a fight for his life," Minor said. "It was a fight for our lives. Minor, Mongold and several other soldiers disarmed the shooter and held him for the military police.."
Apparently, the military bases in the incidents you linked to are real-life military bases, where for example many guards aren't allowed to load their weapons without specific orders, rather than the bristling-with-weapons-super-high-security-one-false-move-and-you're-dead military bases in your imagination.
True, some parts of military bases ARE exactly like you imagine. That's not where shootings have tended to happen, though, for obvious reasons.
A rising tide raises all boats, but what we're seeing is the water level in the harbor being raised artificially by the big boats sinking all the smaller boats around them...
What happens when the majority of economic activity requires no workers at all? Then the owner gets a pile of profits, pays no workers at all, and only owners can afford anything because everyone else is unemployed and unemployable...
It's worse than that. The owner's profits are 100% dependent on customers, and over time everyone has fewer customers. So before long, you have a few people with huge automated factories only producing one or two items a year for the other factory owners and everyone else is kept outside the fences by robots armed with blinding lasers.
Sometimes you'll hear people talking about "the redistribution of wealth" like it's a bad thing, but in truth all economic systems are methods of wealth re-distribution. Ours was built originally to encourage the creation of wealth, by distributing portions of the created wealth to all responsible, but lately it's been running into trouble; it can't handle a transition to post-scarcity and is actually set up to self-destruct before we get there. It's why our government has to subsidize so many seemingly successful businesses - agriculture, transportation, energy, et al..
Some of those able to send alerts include the American Red Cross, Federal Emergency Management Agency, World Health Organization, and government and non-government agencies in Japan and South Korea.
Others able to send alerts include anyone able to momentarily spoof Twitter into thinking they're one of the listed agencies...

The Rangers perhaps aren't, but the general military is.
Armies are not composed of average men. They are, specifically, a subgroup of all persons that can pass through a specific set of selection filters.
Average men are average, not "average minus all the ones we deselected because they didn't meet a variety of physical and mental standards."

You're right, I misspoke. "rabbit starvation" is a different condition.
You can still die from it, of course.
They burn fat for fuel, primarily. If they eat too lean, they get sick and maybe die from ketoacidosis.

"wouldn't they", nothin' Done and done.
transuranic (TRU) waste--that is, radioactive elements heavier than uranium on the periodic chart, such as plutonium, americium, curium and neptunium.
Also known, in every country with a halfway-sensible nuclear policy, as "reactor fuel."
Keep in mind, though, that before it was tested, it still worked.
We're pretty bad at it, because of the systemic assumption that the most common learning style is the only one.

Iceland. Your argument is invalid.
America is confronted by its absence in matters of competence, courage, integrity and enterprise.
Didn't our nuclear-powered laser robot just discover water on Mars...?
No, he's not joking.

If Walmart did not give them jobs, they would likely be working for less, or be unemployed.
So when Wal-Mart opens a store in an area, it results in more jobs in that area? Do you have a cite?
... the only problem that needs to be solved is how to pay all the bills.
I can't imagine how math and reading skills might help there.
This this this.
A rising tide raises all boats, but what we're seeing is the water level in the harbor being raised artificially by the big boats sinking all the smaller boats around them...
Walmart's profit margin is 3.61%. So 1.1% would be about 30% of their earnings.
I wonder how much of that 1.1% is only possible because of Wal-Mart employees on food stamps?
In other words, how much of that 1.1% is basically our tax money?
... oh, and Wal-Mart. Can't forget our continual taxpayer-funded subsidization of Wal-Mart.

Departments don't want people who would give their own mother a speeding ticket.
This kind of implies that they want people who take care of their own and will look the other way when they see one of their own committing a crime...
