Women Getting Closer To Serve In Combat

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey predicts women are getting closer to serving in combat. The Joint Chiefs chairman told young cadets that it would change on his watch, and if not, then certainly on theirs. He says it's a two-step process. The military has to remove restrictions on intelligence analysts serving in battle, which he called completely ludicrous. Then it has to lift a ban on women serving in ground combat unit, like tanks, artillery and infantry. That, he says, will be harder because of Congressional interest. But, he says, "I think we'll be better for it." He spoke to ROTC cadets in North Carolina Friday.

well normally I would be offended by this statement.Because I believe there are many things women can do just as good as men. But since talking to my brother in-law about this subject,I realized I didn't know all of the facts. It has to do with human nature.Just ask someone that has been in a war situation and they can explain it to you. Then hopefully it will make total sense.
