Considering US women have already been fighting and dying in combat for a long time, it’s about time it was made official.

I was in an airborne unit, along with many women. Cook, mechanic, infantry – you all jump in. And guess what? The enemy doesn’t not shoot you just because you are a cook when you are falling from the sky onto their airfield.

And with no real front or rear anymore in the sort of wars we fight (agree with them or not), this just formalizes something that was already reality.
