Women in combat  
Charles P. Pierce makes a point that should have been obvious:
The "ban" on women in combat already was "dropped" de facto because "combat" has a way of finding people and does not discriminate based on gender. You don't have to believe me, because you can take it up with Congresscritter Tammy Duckworth.

Well, for that matter, Obama 'got all combat troops out' of Iraq on Bush's scheduled date -- by changing their labels to 'non-combat'.

There was a (Jules Fieffer?) cartoon long ago about gays in the military with the punchline that idea wasn't to keep gays out of the military, it was just to make sure they didn't get credit for it.
