- President Bush has thrown up his hands after reading the
- report from his PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION ON WOMEN IN THE
- MILITARY, and may reverse its ban on women in combat cockpits
- before sending the recommendations on to Congress. After a
- yearlong, $4 million study, the 15-member commission came up
- with several odd objections to women serving in combat. First of
- all, the report argues, women might be taken as prisoners of
- war. Servicewomen, who are asking for assignments in which they
- could be killed, have already said they are willing to risk
- imprisonment. The commission also insisted that if both parents
- in a family are in the service, one should be forced to quit.
- Guess which one?
