I'd be very interested to know who, exactly, are these four females demanding infantry slots. My guess is they are officers who think an infantry posting is a great way to fast track a career to generals’ stars. [Earth to female wannabees: ground combat respects neither rank nor gender and is an equal opportunity killer. You don't have much of a career if you are dead or disabled.]

I don't think there are many enlisted women banging on doors to get infantry ground combat postings. Why is that? Are the enlisted smarter than the officers or are they less power hungry?

One is a Marine Corps Officer who is resigning her commission. The other three are reservists: an Air National Guard Major who is a pilot, A former USMC Captain who claims that she left active duty because her career progression was hampered, and an Army Staff Sergeant wounded by an IED.

Its all a sham, political theater. They understand that most civilains haven't a clue how the military really works and know that liberals will sign up for anything in the name of "fairness".
