The burden of proof does not lie with me. The record speaks for itself and is already written.
Your problem is, you require that I post material to back up what I am saying, when you can’t deliver even one case the back up yours. But I certainly can.

More than 40,000 American women served in the war against Iraq.
The Marine Corps awarded twenty-three women the Combat Action Ribbon for service in the Persian Gulf War because they were engaged by Iraqi troops.
Desert Storm was a huge turning point for women, much like Vietnam was for African-Americans, and it showed that modern war boundaries between combat and non-combat zones are being blurred. It makes no sense to cling to semantics (combat vs combat support) given the reality of war.
Furthermore, allowing both men and women to compete for all military occupational specialties is not an equal rights issue, but one of military effectiveness. If the United States is to remain the world’s most capable and most powerful military power, we need to have the best person in each job, regardless of their gender.
