Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta spoke Thursday morning on lifting the ban on women in combat in advance of a more formal announcement later in the day.
“As secretary of defense, I know that opening more opportunities for our most qualified men and women in uniform strengthens our ability to fight and to win the nation’s wars,” Panetta said Thursday at a Martin Luther King Jr. remembrance event.

I would llke to see Panetta announcing that certain members of Congress will be expected to participate in front line battles, after all, it is them, that vote to send our military personnel into harms way.so it is only fair that they can experience first hand, what their decisions to send military to fight in another part of the world, is all about.
That my friends would be one sure way to end all war, enough of this do as I say, not as I do.
Gosh!! The ayatollah and his gangsters ger rid of babies thru Pro abortion and planned parenthood (40 million babies murdered to date) WQe have obamacare that will kick in with killing the old people with the “care” deal and put them down like dogs. Now we have him sending the young women to war so that they too can be killed and murdered by his islamic terrorists. I wonder who will be left to keep him and the Moooooooooo in designer clothes when he is murdering the Americans wholesale like this — with the help now of the Pentagon, bearing in mind he has cut the military budget drastically and has stuffed weapons and planes in the hands of his muslim terrorist buddies. Is there no stopping this mad man?????
How about making Barack Hussein Obama as Field Commander and send him to the front lines… cause Obama thinks he so good at everything there is and is excellent at barking out orders…so he should be at the front of the line…
Women have no business being in the front of the lines… their bodies are not made for heavy combat… they would rely on the soldiers to pull their weight but their own to boot… Women have too many fat cells and men have more muscle… they are not the same and shouldnt be the same… Which would you rather have if your house was burning ?.. A male fire fighter or a woman one… ??
