Might be good news. If you were a woman, would you join the Army or Marines under these conditions?

Women to the Navy and USAF. Men to the Army and Marines. Simple.

I am afraid it will be like it was in construction when those jobs opened up to women in the 1970s due to discrimination lawsuits; while it was a novel job most of the women that wanted to do it were in no way capable. That changed when the novelty wore off and I knew several women that were qualified that became equipment operators especially. I worry that when combat roles open up the women least likely to be able to perform will be the first to want combat MOS. Not sure why it happened that way but I was working as a bookkeeper for a large construction company and watched as that unfolded.
