japanese americans and african-americans in world war ii or women in combat, we ve benefited as a nation. this is a good thing because they have a better pool, a bigger pool of people who want to do this. it s going to help women in the services. it s not just combat time. it s command time of a combat unit, alex. it s being a battalion commander of a combat unit, brigade commander, division commander. you won t get command of a division like the first armored division, first infantry division unless you have command time as a brigade commander. right now the only ones who can do that are the ones in aviation or some in air defense artillery. you ve left out all these women. if you don t have that in your resume of having served as a brigade level or higher combat unit, you re not going to get as competitive a look when it comes to trying to pin on your first star or second star. you re not going to get through what we call the brass ceiling.
