So long as they are held to the same standards as men, go nuts.
One aspect of equality we haven't reached yet.  If they want the job, they should meet the requirements for it.


As for the OP, great, a new law that will affect dozens of Americans a year.

Dozens? More like close to 150,000 women.

Women can already fly jets, serve on submarines and drive trucks - why shouldn't they fight with the men. Be interesting to see the faces of some of the Islamists who get captured by them as well.

The real solution? Try waging fewer pointless wars.

How many wars since 1945 has the US fought that were pointless in your estimation?
