This is so insane! I do note they (young women) are not told after they totally screw up their systems they will HAVE TO HAVE A HYSTERECTOMY because of it.

(CNSNews.com) - At an event to discuss the merits of lifting the ban on women serving in combat units in the U.S. military, a retired Army sergeant said that hygiene issues are not a problem, including menstrual cycles, which she said can be regulated or eliminated by using birth control.
“Women can use hormonal birth control to regulate or eliminate their periods during deployment,” Kayla Williams said in remarks on Thursday at the Center for National Policy in Washington, D.C. “It’s just not that hard.”
Williams and Michael Breen, former U.S. Army officer and executive director of the Truman National Security Project, argued that the new policy would strengthen the military and that hygiene and privacy were not legitimate reasons to oppose the change.
“What about the hygiene issue?” Williams said. “Look, frankly I don’t even know what that means.
“People say this in this hushed tone as if the vagina is a secret,” Williams said. “If women died without access to indoor plumbing, the human species would not have survived long enough to develop showers.”
Williams said the military already has equipment designed to make hygiene easier for women in the field, including the female urinary device, or FUD, that allows women to urinate while standing or void into a bottle.
Breen said privacy concerns don’t really exist in combat scenarios.
“My own experience in combat with a bunch of different units tells me that all of these worries for guys go out the window, basically, as soon as you are in an environment like that,” Breen said. “You just stop caring. And I realize that that may be difficult to understand. This is an environment where concerns like who sees who go to the bathroom in the field. This is just not at the top of your mind.
“Believe me,” Breen said. “You’re looking for sleep. You’re looking for food. You’re trying not to get your head blown off.”
Privacy was a concern, however, when the Defense Department issued a memorandum on Jan. 13, 1994, which ruled that “women shall be excluded from units below the brigade level whose primary mission is to engage in direct combat on the ground.”
The memo went on to list the restrictions, including the need for privacy and skills “where job-related requirements would necessarily exclude the vast majority of women Service members.”
The fact that women would be required to spend long periods of time in the field with men was also cited as a reason for women not to serve in combat units.
Two times in the memo it is stated that this ban would be “expanding opportunities for women” by more clearly defining combat units as the one area where females could not serve.
In a press release distributed at the event, the lifting of the combat exclusion rule is described as a decision that “brings policy in line with reality.”
The press release states that more than 280,000 women have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, with some 150 women killed while serving and more than 800 who received the Purple Heart for being wounded while deployed.

I really do not understand why anyone would want to serve under obummer. This whole regime is a tragedy.
AMEN brother. He is ruining the military
This really p.o.'s me. Periods aside; there are PHYSICAL differences in muscle, upper body strength, etc. in Women/Men.
Periods have nothing to do with whether or not Women will serve in combat! AND, Charlie Rangle (commie) has introduced a bill, to force women to sign up at 18 for selective service; mandatory and include women in the Draft.
Will they be bringing this up for a vote at the same time they bring up "Violence Against Women"?
Senate already passed VAW Act and it's already on to the House: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s47
Rangle's bill is in House committee. (Fortunately a lot of bills die there!)
I wonder if that old criminal ever served or put his fat ass on the line for anything. He sure has no problem screwing with the lives of others!!
Obama is a disgace to the world. I believe he is not only illegal but a closet homosexual and by allowing homosexuals to serve openly and women being able to serve in combat he's hell-bent on destroying our military. I would not suggest to anyone to join todays military and if I were still in I would be requesting a discharge. It would be a cold day in hell before I would serve under a homo supervisor. The sad thing is you hear no objections from military organizations VFW,American Legion , Amvets et al. about his actions therefore telling me they are more interested in their tax exemption status that is ripping apart our military and I'm a life-member of all these organizations and GOD as my witness wish I could get a refund on my dues.
wish I could get a refund on my dues!
Destroying the military is the only way he can impose Communisum on America. This has been a goal of the Communist Party for 50 years. Sequestration will add the final blow, started by voiding DNA-DNT, then integrating homosexualits into the military, getting rid of or firing top generals that would not shoot at American citizens, and now placing woman in combat roles. Men and woman are not built the same and should not be expected to perform in the same roles. One would think common-sense would rule here, but they forget that the leaders to be have an agenda, and therefore common-sense in no longer a fact or a norm. You cannot equate common-sense and liberalism or communisum. What blows my mind is that the majority in government and citizens do not seem to recognize this. The fiscal and other policies being pursued by the current administration are destroying our country. Have we no one who can stand up and lead us back to common-sense and a stable future? Our country needs help in a big way, and every day that goes by, it gets worse and worse. The dam can only hold so long before all h*** breaks loose.
I think he is trying to ruin women and their ability to reproduce! The dam dems/progressive are determined to reduce the population and at the same time demoralizing the military. They are getting rid of generals that don't agree with him. The population is reducing even in China. Japan has the oldest population because they treasure the elders. That other jerk in NY with all his controlling allows abortions on demand.. Even 2 days before birth. It could be done by a nurse practionshner The only way he keeps control is to have open borders and have a population he can control. Detroit is the model he needs for his transformation. Don't forget the death panels for those who don't have no value to the collective!
