Military to open combat jobs to women
By Chris Lawrence, with reporting from Barbara Starr

[Updated at 9:30 p.m. ET] The U.S. military is ending its policy of
excluding women from combat and will open combat jobs and direct
combat units to female troops, multiple officials told CNN on
Wednesday.


Former troops say time has come for women in combat units

ROFLMAO!!

Fast pair of trainers!!

Though why the guy on the right didnt go flat as a rug....shrug


He saw the pineapple head into a rut which protected him from direct
shrapnel, I guess.


That wasnt a pinapple grenade. Probably an M26 rather than a M67.
The delay was longer. If it had been a "pinapple" you would have seen
a slower explosion with white smoke (black powder det charge)


I meant it in the generic sense, mon. My bad.


That puppy had a very fast blast and only a small amount of black
smoke..probably Comp B or similar (Korean manufactured?)

Those were Koreans..correct?


I believe you're right there. Looking again, after increasing the pic
size, they had what appears to be a moat in front of the sandbag wall.
It worked, redirecting the blast laterally. They didn't need to
scramble that much, but I understand the thought behind it.
