News flash, woman are already in combat roles, in the US Navy, Army and Marines. And they have been for a while. They fly combat aircraft on combat missions. There were several female AH-64 Apache pilots that participated on combat strikes during the war. I met two of them. And they knew what what they were in for right from the start. And both of them loved the work. I say more power to them.

This leftist Koolaid argument has no merit. If a female service member is in Iraq, regardless of location or MOS, she is potentially in a combat area. She can be an admin REMF deep inside the confines of the Green Zone and can still get killed by a suicide car bomber, mortar shell or rocket. She can get killed by an IED along any Iraqi road. Is this news to these people?

Oops, meant US Air Force instead of Marines, my bad

Under these conditions, 31 women have been killed out of over 1500. Obviously women have not been assuming the same risk as men as yet. If they do so now, the body count will be similar.

." She can be an admin REMF "

¿Can a REMF be a she?
