No Combat for Females?

From the BBC: Women who serve in the US army are barred by law from fighting on the front line. But in Iraq, the US is fighting an insurgency - which means there is no front line. GOP lawmakers in the Congress now want to pass a measure which would keep women out of units called Forward Support Companies. The army is deeply opposed to the measure. Underlying the army's opposition are the problems it is having recruiting new troops. Well, this is not shocking to me... it is very hard to keep selling your illegal war when daddy's lil girl or some sad lil kid's mommy fills a body bag, and quite frankly, if they can't trust and allow females to be in charge of their reproductive futures, then why in the hell should we die for their war anyway?
