    Ban on women serving in US military combat lifted

    WASHINGTON — Pentagon chief Leon Panetta has lifted the military's ban on women serving in combat, a move that will allow women into hundreds of thousands of front-line positions and potentially elite commando jobs, a senior Defense official said Wednesday.

    The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented
    on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
    expecting trouble?" "No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
    brought my rifle."

    I don't see a problem with it, as long as they're capable and able to do the job.

    With that said, I'd expect women to now be required to register with selective service. They're now eligible to work in basically every military position, as far as I know, I don't see why they can't register.

    Call me old fashioned, but I'd like to hear from women what they think first.
