The Army has submitted to the Defense Department its plan to open its infantry, armor and special operations ranks to women.The implementation plan comes one month after Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced his decision to lift all gender-based restrictions on military service starting in January. The move paved the way for women to serve in these previously all-male specialties.The plan, which is supposed to outline how the Army will integrate the newly opened occupations and positions, is now being reviewed and discussed as part of the implementation working group co-chaired by Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work and Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Lotta happy talk, no discussion about how any of this will improve the combat readiness of combat arms units.
Because it won’t.
Naw, it’ll work. Because I found a video of this badass Army gal on Youtube:

Oh, that didn’t turn out quite the way I expected…..but no worries, I’m sure it’ll be completely different on the battlefield….
Bob Work – a retired Marine officer – ought to know better.
Work and Selva are both associated with the vaunted Andrew Marshall. No doubt the product of their working group will be… revolutionary and transformational, or something. I guess when politics comes in the front door, all that “long-term strategic thinking” shit goes out the back window.
BHO needs to be tried for treason against the USA.

It’s ok, the Army has a plan…
