Former Rep. Allen West (R-FL) , who was forced out of the military after overseeing the beating of an Iraqi policeman and personally firing a gun past his head, thinks women are not fit to serve in combat positions. The Defense Department decided on Wednesday to open up front line combat jobs to women, reversing a 1994 policy.
Women in combat billets? Another misconceived lib vision of fairness and equality.
