Women have already been serving in combat, and dying in combat situations. The only thing this does is finally give them the official recognition that they deserve!

AND I'LL BE GLAD TO GO...its about time to recognize that women are just as tough as men, ESPECIALLY when FREEDOM AND LIBERTIES ARE AT STAKE. We may not be as smart as men in some areas, but when it comes to pulling the trigger on a sworn enemy, WE CAN DO IT...so get over it guys, and hurry up with the dishes.
