Knew this was coming but still hard to believe that liberals would finally get their way and women will now die right along with a man in a combat situation. This PC sell-out by all the service chiefs, except the Marines, is pathetic. The Marines certainly knew it would degrade mission effectiveness, not improve it in any way, shape, or form, and Carter told the Marine Commandant he knew more about fighting wars than he did. This is a sad day for America. Any nation that sends it's women to fight it's wars it not fit to be called a nation.

Another political maneuver which if overturned by a future administration for obvious reasons, will give a talking point to the “war on women” narrative

The only people happy about this is ISIS - imagine what will happen to the first female’s who are taken prisoner by them. And it will happen......

Next president had better switch this back on 01/21/2017. And I’m a girl. And a combat veteran (mobile surgical tents get bombs thrown at them)

Because the U.S. military is no longer concerned with actual defense of the U.S., just with advancing liberal social issues.

Women don’t belong on the front line for so many reasons. If you put a woman on the front line she better be able to do EVERYTHING a man can do. Same minimum requirements.

$64 MILLION question:

'Will America make it to Jan. 20th, 2017?'

It's anyone's guess.

I certainly hope Delta, Green Berets, SEALs, and other combat units will be 50% female by decree. I wouldn’t want the military to discriminate against eligible soldiers or sailors based on something as trivial as upper body strength, physical endurance, or muscle mass.

The vast majority of the time, those qualities are not relevant to the task at hand, with rare exceptions lasting a mere few minutes (or hours at most) a handful of times in a career.

Great. I can see the NYT headline when the first female combat soldier gets gang raped by some ISIS fanatic — “The Rape Crisis — Violence Against Female Soldiers Caused by GOP Budget Cuts to Pentagon Diversity Outreach Program.”

Nothing says, “Storming the beaches of Normandy” better than a 130 lb women loaded with 80 lbs of gear floundering in the surf. Sad.

"Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter on Thursday announced that the Pentagon will open all combat jobs to women.

Oh yeah, that's going to work real well.
Has the military bought into the common Hollywood/TV show myth of 110lb girls karate chopping/kicking 220lb men into the ground? Yeah, looks like they have. How many of these female "warriors" are really going to fight? I suspect they'll fall to pieces and start crying after they hear the first bullet whiz by.

The goal is to remove the military from the military.

Mr. Carter said that, after a three-year review, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Special Operations Command agreed that all combat positions should be open to qualified women.

You mean, after die Oberste Fuhrer ordered his General-Feldmarschall to implement Gleichschaltung, all lower levels of rank found no reason to object.
