I'm pretty sure that the POTUS was not involved in the development or presentation of any of that training material. I really doubt he was aware of some ROTC instructor in a college pressuring students. Are you really making the case that president Obama was responsible for those events? I think that's quite a stretch.

Not making any case; none. Per my introduction, only posting for "consideration/comment." A lot of this is news to me--or maybe it isn't news at all. That is why I am posting/asking. The one thing I am certain about is that there is a push to make combat MOS's available to females and I am certain in my conviction that that is a mistake. Not only intuitively wrong but research backed. The only real justification for such actions--again, in my mind--is that the current demographic of potential recruits is unqualified (physically, mentally or morally) to fill the ranks. That having been said, I mean absolutely no disrespect toward our women in uniform many of whom are serving "in combat" right now--transporters, medics, etc. Women Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors are, on whole, tremendous contributors to the over-all mission and should be honored, respected and celebrated to the same degree as their male counterparts; just not as infantrymen, tankers or artillerymen. The success of our military in meeting their Mission is too important for social experimentation.

LTC (Join to see) The Obama Administration liberal/permissive, social engineering agenda set the tone for such things to happen, whether he personally knew or approved of them.

The Army I served in operated on the premise that "the Commander is responsible for everything his troops do or fail to do". The title is COMMANDER in Chief... but the indictment goes deeper than that. Starting with the Chief of Staff of the Army and working down the Chain of Command not a single commander at any level stood up and publicly and rebuked such social experimentation. So like it or not the rose is on Obama's nose... but there are plenty of roses to go around.

Extraordinary actions by our services, LTC Tom Jones. They seem unbelievable to me.
