Just two DACOWITS "recommendations" picked at random, from Spring 1994 (height of Clinton administration):

5. Opening Combat Aircraft to Women
DACOWITS reaffirms and further emphasizes its Recommendations that the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force open all combat aircraft assignments to women, including Army Air Cavalry Regiments and Special Operations.

6. Women in Army Field Artillery
DACOWITS recommends that the Secretary of the Army keep field artillery open to women and expand opportunities by opening Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS). DACOWITS reaffirms and emphasizes its Recommendations that the Secretary of Defense open MLRS to women.

It's just ludicrous. This isn't about "military readiness," it is solely about political correctness.

The two items you posted said "opening up opportunities" in these military areas to women. It said nothing about lowering standards and meeting quotas for women. That's a key dinstinction.
