Two American women in the Army just passed an elite Army training course: “1st Lt. Audrey Moton and 2nd Lt. Carley Turnnidge, both West Point graduates, took on the Army’s Sapper Leader Training course for combat engineers at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. It’s one of the toughest combat training courses in the entire U.S. military and the only course of its kind that accepts women.” Now their legs can get blown off by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan just like their male counterparts.
The article notes that the ACLU has filed a federal lawsuit to lift the ban on women in combat. And some libertarians think that this is a step toward more freedom in America because it “expands women’s rights”? It is a sign of the further degradation of the country.
