Ban on Women in Combat to be Lifted

Yesterday, FoxNews reported that the ban on women in combat will soon be lifted.

Women in all branches of the military soon will have unprecedented opportunities to serve on the front lines of the nation’s wars.

… the policy change…would open hundreds of thousands of front-line positions and potentially elite commando jobs after more than a decade at war, the Pentagon confirmed Wednesday….

FoxNews also reported that women comprise 14 percent of the 1.4 million active military personnel.
