That's the whole story so far, by the way.....a bit of breaking news, so more to follow, no doubt.

insanity

the US military is officially over, eventually

the GOPe will never, ever undo this

[TurboZamboni]

I’m sure they’ll all have to sign up for the draft,too./sarc

[ClearCase_guy]

Well. I guess our days of “boots on the ground” are pretty much gone. Women in the front lines is stupid — we’ve decided we aren’t going to fight anymore.

[Brownie63]

Good grief! Another blow in the name of political correctness. Our enemies will be happy to hear this news!

[EEGator]

Since most of our operations are Muslim countries, I hope they enjoy kidnap and rape. This is a serious mistake on multiple levels. F Obama and all his administration.

[RandallFlagg]

Again this corrupt regime bypasses the system to rule by force.

Not really surprised.

[apillar]

God forbid we ever find ourselves in an old style war of attrition like WW I. Can you imagine the drama adding women into the front lines of a bunch of young sex starved men is going to cause, not to mention all the male soldiers more worried more about keeping the “girls” safe than fighting the enemy. I guess in the age of Obama we just aren't suppose to ask such old fashion sexist questions....

This is to save Hillary. It gets her story out of view.

It is very very bad.

Very bad.

[LegendHasIt]

"women in combat, opening thousands of front line positions."

Thousands of positions? Wow. These modern girls...I know of about 20, and with my arthritic joints, can only really do about five of them fairly well. . . And only two are doable in a foxhole.

On the bright side, it would be great to see a bunch of badass American chicks sending scores camel-effing islamatards off to the hereafter.

Tarantinoesque, with the right soundtrack.

[R_Kangel]

.... This announcement was timed as a diversionary tactic to draw the press away from the news oozing out of the so called Benghazi testimony IMO.

[C210N]

So, might this connect with the story earlier today of the regime’s military litmus test of being able to fire at Americans?

[Chickensoup]

Interesting how this is released during the Hillary Clinton hearings. Golly, do you think the administration wants to DISTRACT the public or something???

Perhaps even CHANGE THE SUBJECT???

There go the physical fitness requirements. And since the combat effectiveness of a unit is limited by its weakest members, the patrol range, speed, equipment that can be carried, etc. The combat effectiveness of the entire army is now greatly reduced.

[ilgipper]

Well, since gays how are ‘equal’ in the military, and women are too, I want to force the Navy to allow people with bad vision to fly jets and anyone can be a army doctor...no education needed. It is only fair, don’t ya know.

[Obadiah]

Frankly, I don’t care anymore. Let them go. Let them get shot at and die like men. That’s what they demand, give it to them.

However, I don’t want to see anquished reports of women killed or captured in combat (see: Jessica Lynch).

Onward with Obama’s transformation of America!

[CodeToad]

I fully expect our military to be used against us, so I see this as good news. Nothing like a bunch of screaming little girls trying to act tough.

[DManA]

Are we expecting to need a new batch of cannon fodder?

[NormsRevenge]

sigh,, how long before unisex boot camp? sign me up.

I’d still squeeze into a khaki outfit, XL uhh OK XXL

I can hear our enemies giggling now..
