“No where did I post that I SUPPORT women in combat roles - only that women have been in the front lines of America’s wars since this country’s founding. And, women have also been in the front lines of wars abroad. My only point is that they are there and have been there.”

Its quite disingenuous to state that women have been in combat roles throughout our history and infer their roles have been the same throughout. Never before in our history have women been placed side by side as combat troops. They were in roles that happened to come into combat or as a very small number of women who sought it out.

I’m confused. Where did I post that women have served in “combat roles”? Seems to me what I stated is that women have been in/on the front lines - not exactly the same as claiming they were there as part of a military combat unit.
