Pentagon seeks lifting of women in combat bans
The Defense Department urges Congress to end longstanding bans on women flying combat aircraft and serving on Navy ships to support an all volunteer force. Deputy Defense Secretary Duncan sent the request in a Feb 14 letter, with Antonia Chayes arguing for sex neutral evaluation of military jobs once bans are removed. Projections show declining 18 year old male availability by the mid 1980s and 1990s, while ERA politics complicate prospects for change.
