We are moving closer - Ash Carter: Military Should Let Women Meet Standards for Combat Jobs.

This is really all about opportunity.


Defense Secretary Ashton Carter on Tuesday gave the clearest signal yet that he was preparing to lift restrictions on women in combat jobs and open up all military occupational specialties to those who can meet the standards.

Citing the example of the two female soldiers who recently completed Army Ranger School, Carter said, "When put to the test, not everyone, only a select few, will meet our standards of combat excellence. But no one needs to be barred from their chance to be tested."
