Last week, the Pentagon decided open up thousands of near-the-front-line military jobs to female military personnel who were previously restricted from these types of jobs. What does this mean? I honestly had no idea that this was even going on to tell you the truth, but the simple fact still remains.....
Women are still banned from combat, although this move to put them closer to harm’s way has made a few people very mad, including Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who said that when women are too close to the front line “emotions” could lead to “compromised situations.” So what does the public think about the Pentagon’s measure? I have been around some very tough ladies in my life and to dismiss them because they have feelings and emotions seems wrong. Um hello have you watched Hilliary Clinton speak before? If it was do or die for that lady I think she could pop a few shots off and not cry about it.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll that was taken last year, 73 percent of American adults support allowing women in the military to serve in ground units that engage in close combat. Twenty-five percent opposed, and two percent had no opinion. WOLFPACK what do you think? Comment before and let me know if you think women should be allowed to FIGHT on the FRONT lines along with men. Comment now please!
Something also to think about....
While younger people and those who describe themselves as liberal are more likely to support women in combat, not single traditional demographic group was majority opposed to the idea in the ABC News/Washington Post survey.
