Today is a historic day in the United States Armed Forces. Today, a class from the U.S. Army's Ranger School in Fort Benning, Georgia graduates today. What's so special about this class from all the other hundreds of classes in the past? For the first time ever, two WOMEN graduate! Prior to today, women were banned from Ranger School, but the United States military has been trying to open women in combat fields, such as the Special Forces units.

What's my opinion on this? I'm completely for it! Women can be good fighters, strong thinkers on their feet under stress, and working in a brotherhood. In fact, some countries allow women combat soldiers such as Israel and Russia. If it works for them, it could work for us. Our own law enforcement units allow women and they've proven themselves worthy. The number one main reason men don't become Rangers, SEALs, etc. is because "they just didn't want it that badly." Obviously, these two women proved that anybody can do it if they work hard, push yourselves, and never quit. (That, and they probably were strong and athletic in their youths... that's another reason men quit SF programs, they didn't go in prepared).

This marks another point in history. The U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps were established in 1775 (the U.S. Air Force in 1947 when it broke away from the Army to becoming their own service) and it wasn't until 1917 when the military started to allow women in their branches. Of course, women were banned from combat careers. Today, that barrier has been broken and we can expect great fighting women in our armed forces. Good luck out there!
