[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there is anything wrong with the question OP is raising.  If I am reading correctly, every branch of the military is being asked to open every job to women by Jan 1 unless they ask for an exception. At the same time, they are taking this into consideration-as they must:

"The primary consideration in conducting the research was combat effectiveness, followed by the health and welfare of individual Marines, the report says. [b]It quotes from a 1992 presidential commission concluding that "risking the lives of a military unit in combat to provide career opportunities or accommodate the personal desires or interests of an individual, or group … is more than bad military judgment. It is morally wrong[/b]."

Those of us who have family in the military have no qualm about women serving.  However, we want any transformation of how the military handles this done properly, not rushed, with the above in mind.

The military is not the bad guy here. You can be anti-war and still want the people your political leadership sends to war to be treated fairly.[/quote]
