Are the women going to have their own designated bunk areas among the machinery? Why should only the men have the fun of sleeping right under an airconditioning duct, or wedged against a pump housing in the engineering space?

And Mattis is OK with this nonsense?

I was hoping this BS would end with the departure of Ash Carter as SecDef.

Most females don’t stay with sub duty.

More females are married to servicemen than the other way around and it’s rough on the family.

Well, women wanted equal rights.

Now, they get them. All women over the age of 18 need to register for the draft, just like my sons have to. If the radical feminists want to throw your mothers, daughters, sisters, and nieces into the meat grinder for the sake of “equality”, so be it.

And no, all of those “women” in college will not get a free pass, because this time around, going to college will not get you out of it.
