Of those, an overwhelming number said they&#8217;d like to be a Night Stalker \u2014 a member of the elite special operations helicopter crews who perhaps are best known for flying the Navy SEALS into Osama bin Laden&#8217;s compound in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Last year top Pentagon officials signed an order saying women must have the same opportunities as men in combat jobs and the services have been devising updated physical standards, training, education and other programs for thousands of jobs they must open Jan. 1, 2016. The services must open as many jobs to women as possible; if they decide to keep some closed, they must explain why.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that the result of this poll won&#8217;t influence the social scientists one whit &#8211; they&#8217;re determined to increase the number of women killed in combat in the next war as well as their male battle buddies. I expect pressure will be put on recruiters to influence new female recruits to join the combat arms specialties, and because they really don&#8217;t want those jobs, they&#8217;ll begin failing in large numbers which will make Big Army to lower standards in order to accommodate their political masters. <\/p>\n<p>When have I been wrong in this discussion so far? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not my shocked face as I read the article sent to us by Ex-PH2 &hellip; <a title=\"Few women want combat jobs\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=40025\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Few women want combat jobs<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40025\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
