You can segregate officers (and maybe chiefs to a degree, but you don't get to be a chief on a sub without serving as a lower rating first).<br /><br />I agree that women ought to serve wherever able to do so - with the caveat of not degrading the mission of the unit /exercise they are in.<br /><br />That may well mean that subs, SEALs, Green Berets, some specialized &/or physically demanding roles may be de facto off limits, or have very limited or no participation by women, at least in the near future.<br /><br />Yes, I know it was publicized recently that 2-3 (maybe more) women graduated from the tough Ranger school - that is a milestone and they should be congratulated - and rewarded with assignments/duties equal with their abilities, be it a combat ready role or not.<br /><br />I think it is a step in the right direction for these achievements and SecDef orders. There will be difficulties, but nothing good is easy and women in many areas already is setting the right tone.<br /><br />Jayhawk 1-0brucenoreply@blogger.com
