The graves administration should proactively prepare 22 spaces for them.

Obama is moving as fast as he can now. And Republicans remain petrified to say or do anything. A majority that has proven to be utterly useless.

I assume the APFT (fitness test) was modified, so men and women use the same standards. /s
I was an Armor officer...I really can’t believe this is happening.
The army will act like its working, with no downside...but this is just nuts.

Oh great, we’ll have a military full of Michelle Fields types, where they have to be pampered and avoid being touched.

"The graves administration should proactively prepare 22 spaces for them."And spaces for the soldiers who ended up dying because these female soldiers weren't actually fit for combat.
But, hey, if placing women in combat situations, and creating some widows and fatherless children in the process, can get some general another star, it's worth it. (/sarc)

Republicans have no real problems with what Obama is doing. Not in the goper rino uniparty leadership.

So these new female ground officers who don't know jack shite about combat MOS's are going to
mentor junior enlisted?? That's not their job even if they were experienced.
W.T.F.?

The move is a major milestone on the road to fully integrating women into combat jobs. The Army is taking a leadership first position by first placing female soldiers in leadership roles in combat roles that were not previously open to them, then allowing those women to train and mentor female enlisted combat soldiers. Nonsensical gobbledegook from the Pentagon.
'Major milestone' is redundant.
Why aren't the female soldiers serving as infantry grunts first since no women have yet served in combat? Why are they being parachuted into leadership roles without the so-called required experience?
And if a 'fully integrated' Army is the objective, why do we need females and only females to 'train and mentor' female and only female soldiers? Isn't such sex-specific tokenism and segregation the polar opposite of integration? Did we integrate the Army racially but set aside units for black leaders to 'train and mentor' black soldiers? That was and is as nonsensical as this PC Pink Panty Brigade idiocy made even more idiotic by the doubletalk used to sell it.
