Those units provide infantry, armor and artillery units with equipment, ammunition, maintenance and other supplies in combat zones. The Army started allowing women to staff such support posts last year and says it is complying with the 1994 policy.


The army says that Republicans are trying to take women out of certain roles that they held under the 1994 regulations.

Why do you hate the U.S. Army?

Why do you hate America?

You are helping the terrorists by lying about the U.S. army.



Title of the thread:
US military hates women, trying not to let women fight in direct ground combat

Paragrpah in article:
The language would put into law a Pentagon policy from 1994 that prohibits female troops in all four service branches from serving in units below brigade level whose primary mission is direct ground combat.

Another Paragraph in the article:
The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps currently operate under a 10-year-old policy that prohibits women from "direct combat on the ground" but allows the services discretion to open some jobs to women in combat as needed.


Thanks for coming. I think you were more interested in bashing rush limbaugh than understanding my statements.
