Two women have become the first to complete the U.S. Army Ranger course. It was only this Spring that the Army allowed women to try. Nineteen tried, but only two finished. The Army hasn’t yet decided if it will open up combat roles for women. It will eventually, just like it has opened up the military to everything and anything. I suppose that some libertarians will think this is progress toward granting full equality to women that they have been denied for so long, blah, blah, blah.
