We're hearing over and over about the women who recently graduated from Ranger school. We're hearing about the "possibility" of opening up positions for woman to be in positions on the frontline. It's a myth that women have not been serving in frontline positions for years. Have you ever heard of Dr. Mary Walker? She crossed the frontline during the Civil War. She is just one example. The women shown in this article are among women who are paving the way for others and giving them a base to build upon.

Yes I did. In fact, I was selected for a female engagement team to support the Arkansas Army National Guard in 2012, but the deployment was cancelled. The role of women for intellegence is unique and very helpful evidently.

This is the kind of common sense approach that we need. Not a platform to subjugate women but to bring to light the abuses. CPT (Join to see)

I have heard of this and I do believe that our women are more than capable of not only serving in direct combat but doing it well and doing it better than a lot of men! Thanks for sharing.
