...and the nation it defends, continues at a dizzying pace.
"Women in all branches of the military soon will have unprecedented opportunities to serve on the front lines of the nation's wars.

I hope they are ready to sign up for the selective service upon turning 18 also.

I just don't understand the logic behind this at all. I have not served in the Armed Forces so I will withhold my comments except for this one. If you can't kick my [censored] in hand to hand combat I sure the hell do not want you fighting next to me or watching my back.

I've never met you, but I've no doubt there are some who could. However, that is not the only issue or the even major issue here.

Don't forget transgender. That's already in the works, too.

I can hear my WWII veteran Grandpa spinning in his grave. Here's hoping my Dad doesn't even HEAR this news story.
The last bastion of masculine hope is the American military.
This is bad for a myriad of reasons.

I'll respect the women that are whilling to take a bullet and defend our freedoms, just as I do the men, but I don't think it's a good idea.
I hope these women realize that if they are ever captured, that they will probably be the first ones to be attacked, either raped and/or killed.

Imagine the outrage of the American people when it DOES happen, and it will; look at who we're fighting right now, and will be for a long time.

The American people lost their sense of outrage within only a few months after 9/11. I do not see it returning ever again; or if it does, too late to matter.
