in a foxhole! It is TIME to let women fully move into direct combat roles (they already are). Enough with this combat support crap, I've known women that were tougher then the kevlar vest they had on! They could outshoot me and probably outfight me in hand to hand combat!

To all the active and retired military professional women - I salute you!
