so as i tell people, women should have an equal opportunity to have some of those slots that we consider combat-oriented. and they ve been held back. they ve been held back by a ban on women being able to be there, even though in reality they have been there. so i don t know that it s about stomaching. i think americans understand that about 20% of the people who went to iraq and afghanistan were women. they certainly saw them on television. for example, they saw jessica lynch be the first p.o.w., woman p.o.w. in iraq. so i think they ve gotten used to understanding that women really are playing important roles in the military and that the military needs them. that we as a country need women. because they have good skills. those who compete for combat roles will be physically up to the mettle on that. so i think america s ready for it.
