The 22 women have almost finished their officer training and must complete training in specialty schools to enter either the armor branch or infantry branch. Previously, women had been barred from joining frontline combat roles in the U.S. military, including the infantry.
An Army statement Friday said the women must complete the remaining training and physical requirements before they can qualify as combat officers.
In December, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced the military would open all occupations to women this year, saying America's all-volunteer fighting force cannot afford to ignore half of the population in the 21st century that requires "drawing strength from the broadest possible pool," including women.

Leftist social engineering.

Stupid.
You have no idea. Women can be more brutal than men.
My Son was first a Ranger and then became a Green Beret, the only true Special Forces operator. He described to me the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape school (SERE) in which he endured many hours in a small cage, totally naked in 40 degree temperatures. He then continued to endue an "interrogation" with actual physical punishment. This school was only a a small portion of the two year pipeline. Not only must a women be able to tolerate such pain and abuse but be able to carry my 220 pound wounded Son to safety. Good men will die with this feel good politically correct social engineering experiment.
Hey, 6:48, that's why I'm divorced from mine!
