The U.S. Army on Friday announced it has approved the first 22 women to be commissioned as infantry and armor officers after new rules issued last month opened all combat roles to female service members.
The move is a major milestone on the road to fully integrating women into combat jobs. The Army is taking a leadership first position by first placing female soldiers in leadership roles in combat roles that were not previously open to them, then allowing those women to train and mentor female enlisted combat soldiers.
The 22 women are near completion of their officer training and will be commissioned as second lieutenants in coming weeks, USA Today reported.

Officers, which means that aren’t on the battlefield and didn’t have to qualify through experience their abilities.
This is a clear repudiation of classic chivalric values that go back to antiquity--clearly at least to the age of Charlemagne.
Going along, to get along, will soon destroy the last vestiges of civilization.
Yes. An ethical woman who loves her country would not volunteer for combat training for that reason. These women aren't heroes - they're suicidally murderous narcissists.
What happens to these female warriors if they’re captured by the enemy?
Anyone of these “progressive” Pentagon paper pushers think of that?

WW II officers were on the battlefield, in fact, they had a large casualty rate. Some were battlefield commissions but there was ‘counting peanuts’ jobs too.
It’s the country that has just died.
and we thought we would escape his presidency like all others. As if.
There will be nothing left of the Old America in 280 days.
These “women” are enablers and fools. What a sad pathetic joke on those who will eventually die because of this leftist PC garbage. May all who promote this rot in eternity.
Yep, at least the Marine Corps tried and to no avail.
Scary Shit.
These (EEOC Types) people will be deciding the fate of too many goodmen!
They don’t belong there. They belong at home tending to their husbands and children.
They can’t carry their weight and represent a double burden for the guys - looking out for the enemy and the girls. Demoralizing. Also the added feature of sexual distractions and temptations. Absolutely stupid.
How will they pee from the tank?
