What could possibly go wrong?
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Senior defense officials say Pentagon chief Leon Panetta is removing
the military’s ban on women serving in combat, opening hundreds of
thousands of front-line positions and potentially elite commando jobs
after more than a decade at war.
The groundbreaking move recommended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
overturns a 1994 rule banning women from being assigned to smaller
ground combat units. Panetta’s decision gives the military services
until January 2016 to seek special exceptions if they believe any
positions must remain closed to women.
