Fortunately it will NEVER be up to the rank and file, officers or not.

If this country decides Women should be in combat, then so be it.

I am not sure who decides whether or not they can serve in elite forces, but I think it should be up to civilian leadership.

Neither of these women will go to a Ranger battalion. Many soldiers that earn the ranger tab, never serve with a ranger outfit.

I think an attack helicopter pilot is in more demand than a Ranger tabbed Company Commander.

and kick the entire staff's asses.
