(CNSNews.com) – In a commencement speech Thursday to graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., President Barack Obama said the U.S. military is stronger because women can now serve in all combat positions and because the U.S. is closing the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.
“And on this 40th anniversary of the first female cadets arriving at this academy, we are stronger because General Johnson leaves this institution, because Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson leads Northern Command, our nation’s first female combatant commander, and because all combat positions in our military are now open to women like you. We’re stronger because of it,” said Obama.

Yeah bammy because we know you have always loved and respected our military and have always wanted it to be stronger, just like the rest of your ilk.
Top of the list for all of the dems for decades, stronger military.

Even though he’s decapitated the military and cut the rest in half, it’s stronger because of diversity.

One suspects that this is the sowing of yet another election-year wedge.
For the record, women do a darned fine job in the military, and have done so for many decades.
That said, the Navy SEALs need to remain a boys club, and everyone (EVERYONE) knows this.

By that logic the NFL would be better with female players.

"The U.S. military is stronger because women can now serve in all combat positions."He makes no direct attempt to support or defend this complete non sequitur, because it is impossible to do so.
