The number of women stepping forward to serve on the front lines of combat will be very few, so we’re not talking about women making a huge contribution here. And, as we’ve heard, the number of combat troops will be shrinking, so it’s not as though we are like Israel having to make up for a small population.

Which is exactly why liberals hate the military.
“The best fighting force is an all male one, possessed with testosterone, comraderie and physical strength, without opposite-sex diversions.”
And also as Santorum bravely pointed out, without same-sex diversions.
