Women do have physical limitations that make them a poor fit for combat roles.

But they can serve honorably and ably in other roles.

Here is a woman that served very honorably and rose to Admiral...This brilliant woman was wonderful!!!! A true role-model for young women who yearn to serve this great nation.

She created the first high-level language compiler..COBOL. It was an amazing feat..she had the RIGHT STUFF!

I met Ms. Hopper once. We were both scheduled to give lectures on the same day at a Department of Energy center. I inquired of her about encouraging my daughter to go into computer programming. She was for it. As it turned out, though, my daughter's interest in the field faded, and she made other choices.

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
