This doesn't change that....for better or worse.
It is true some MOSs are closed to women. It is also true women are already in combat. The battle field is 360 degrees. Things like a FLOT and FEBA don't really apply like they once did. The enemy doesn't even wear uniforms. You don't know who among the crowd will blow the brains out of the back of your head or vaprize you with a suicide bomb. You don't have to be in a combat arms unit to be in combat. Additionally, part of the reason for this pilot program is women have been attached to Ranger task forces in Afghanistan during combat patrols. Because you don't need to be combat arms to be attached to a combat arms unit.
