I don't know how I feel about this. But congrats to all the women who have fought for this moment.

It's a good thing that the ban is lifted
Some women are not deterred by the high possibility of being raped and tortured

I am not. Which is weird, but man...I just don't know. I'd join tomorrow, but not for a combat position.

This.... it's a bad idea. I don't care what lies have been told.....we are not men and we can not compete with them on a physical level. If that were not so, why are sports divided based on gender? No thanks. I have no problem excepting the truth. But that it's me. To each his/her own.

Same. I personally know a few and so far they're doing okay for themselves. One is overseas and trying to get on with the CIA and the other is in the Navy or Army. For me my butt was still going and that was years ago. Currently I am, but through a program. I am not ready to be ship off yet. I am a little iffy about it too, but physical vs mental, most of the times its a mental thing. . .

The women still have to pass a strength test to be considered. Congrats to the women who wanted this, but no thank you

| Nah really? Been too busy tendin' chilruns and keeping the men fed. Since the ban was upheld in 1994, clearly they was a reason. If no ground troops were needed, then clearly a lot of people have died since then for absolutely no reason.
