Their desire to be combat pilots or what-have-you has no weight?

Absolutely correct. NO WEIGHT whatsoever. It is only the feminist/careerist types who want the combat roles because they perceive that they cannot advance the same as male combat vets into certain command billets. That they should not HAVE such billets is beside the point to them. And the enlisted women, for the most part, are not thrilled with the idea that THEY get to pay the price for the ambitions of a few officers.

Thanks for your reply. However, I was asking DMCA specifically to get his view. You tried to anticipate where I was going but you missed by a mile so your answer doesn't make much sense to me. Since you brought it up can you give any statistics on what percentage of enlisted service women want combat billets and how many don't?
