BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Associated Press has learned that Defense Secretary Ash Carter will order the military to open all combat jobs to women, and is giving the armed services until Jan. 1 to submit plans to make the historic change.

They don’t care about winning wars because they don’t even know what war is.

It rebuffs arguments from the Joint Chiefs of Staff

'rebuffs arguments' = 'ignores reality'

Not surprised, it was just a matter of time with this administration. Would not want to be in the military now.

This is not a response to danger; it is a premeditated course of action to weaken us in preparation for more widespread dangers.

Opens up the “War on Women” meme again when the next POTUS is forced to reverse this.

Why don’t we just come right out and ban heterosexual males from serving in the armed forces? That seems to be the end results they are looking for by trying to feminize and homotize the military

I’m still waiting for a single general officer to resign because of the failed national security policies of this Administration.

I think you’ve got it—throw out all heterosexual males because they are a threat to the femininity of the girlies. The armed forces will be a girlie social club.
