The failing effort to add women to infantry, special operations forces


TampaBay.com

In January 2013, the Department of Defense announced it was removing the combat exclusion ban that kept women out of infantry units and special operations forces like Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets.

Where do we stand nearly four years later?

Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta argued, “If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job — and let me be clear, we are not reducing qualifications — then they should have the right to serve.”

Pretty funny that the woman who filed the lawsuit and said: “Nobody ever asked for special considerations or reduced standards; just let us compete at the standards as they exist,” is now arguing that the standards are too tough and need to be changed.

The social visionaries who promoted this stupid military policy change will no sooner give up and admit they were wrong than will Barack Obama admit his healthcare initiative is a miserable costly failure and give it up.

Progressives never look back. The "progress" they are attempting may result in unfathomable suffering and death, but they never admit their error, and they never look back.
