Neller bristled when a reporter used the term “women in combat” to describe the military’s gender integration effort, explaining that women had been excluded from certain units and jobs, not combat altogether. “With all due respect, I would never insult a female member of the armed service and talk about women in combat,” Neller said. “They’ve been in combat throughout history.” For example, Marine spokeswoman Maj. Megan McClung was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on Dec. 6, 2006, he said. “I’m coming up on the 10th anniversary when Megan McClung was killed in Ramadi … And I sent her to Ramadi,” Neller said. “So, I don’t mean to take umbrage, but when people start talking about women in combat, I don’t need a class on women in combat.”

I went to Talladega once. Am i a nascar driver now?

Stop with the histrionics man.

Still curious as to how a 120 lb female Marine is going to carry a 220 lb wounded male Marine on her back across a battlefield. Carrying, hopefully, her weapon as well. Mite need, too, to check back in 9 mths to see just how well these female Marines WERE assimilated into the Corps.
