Back in the 1970s when women insisted on having jobs men do in the military, they started putting women on the flightlines in the USAF as aircraft mechanics...

Besides not wanting to get grease under their finger nails, the women expected the men to carry those very heavy tool boxes for them...

granted I heard this from the men...

However many of the women complained they didnt choose the job..

so I wonder if women will get to choose a combat unit...

"However many of the women complained they didnt choose the job.. So I wonder if women will get to choose a combat unit..."

What I heard on the news is that YES women would be allowed to ASK for combat unit jobs. So, women being allowed to ask for combat unit assignment while men are FORCED into combat units is FAIR? Welcome to 1984 - some soldiers are more equal than others!
