Exhibit A
According to Leon Panetta, “It’s clear to all of us that women are contributing in unprecedented ways to the military’s mission of defending the nation.”
Said the Dictator: “Today, by moving to open more military positions — including ground combat units — to women, our armed forces have taken another historic step toward harnessing the talents and skills of all our citizens.”
“I congratulate our military, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for the rigor that they have brought to this process. As Commander in Chief, I am absolutely confident that — as with the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ — the professionalism of our armed forces will ensure a smooth transition and keep our military the very best in the world. ‘
“Today, every American can be proud that our military will grow even stronger with our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters playing a greater role in protecting this country we love.”
Above, you see this administration’s position on placing American women in combat situations as part of our United States Military.
While I don’t share their enthusiasm, they certainly do sound confident in making their pronouncements. Don’t they?
