WASHINGTON – For Air Force Maj. Julie Roloson, new body armor being fielded specifically for women is more than a matter of fit and weight. It could be life or death.
Roloson, 34, commands the 88th Security Forces Squadron at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and says the new vest, tailored to fit women and lighter than men's versions, gives her a better chance to fight and shoot.
Fighting and shooting. Basic requirements for combat jobs, all of which the Pentagon opened to women five years ago. From helmets to accommodate a hair bun to maternity flight suits, gear designed for women is being developed and issued, changing the way the previously one-male-size-fits-all military outfits troops.

Great.no more excuses
Send them to the front lines
50% women, 50%men!
I think this is just fair, after all women now use the law to force the best corporations in California to hire them into board member roles, BY LAW. I think we need to really bring true equality to women so they know what they're talking about when it comes to justice
I want 50%women to clean the sewers, do deadly jobs like military infantry and so on
We are NOT equalif women only pick 50% of the best paying jobs. This is a serious distortion of meritocracy and capitalism and if you want that and force us by law to hire you, then I want the same for the bad jobs. The deadly jobs. The unwanted jobs. You do those at 50% otherwise the law in California is unjust and inhumane and creates a two class system..a better class for women who get to sue their way into the best jobs, and another class for men who already die younger, are more likely to die on the job and on and on
Thank you

1001.. please explain what's wrong with made statement?
Women are forcing their way into the best jobs of the world using laws and intimidation tactics.. but they only do so for good jobs, not bad ones. Are you saying this ain't so?
How exactly is this justice?
And women do all of this while calling themselves more inclusive, better than men AND calling men toxic at the same time. It is a position that is quite hard to defend unless you're a sociopath, which I fear many of them are and I have the right to know their arguments for forcing their way into good jobs, displacing and degrading men at the same time.
And never ever using laws to do the hard and deadly jobs
Men are much more likely to die at the jib than women. Die earlier. Pay billions every year to women thanks to antiqued divorce laws. It is not right.
Make your arguments, but please avoid ad hominem attacks. I want to hear your reasoning on this issue

Not possible to do what you said. I would have to pry your mouth off me first. At least you are well fed.
Ridiculous
Wow, unbelievable comments from the peanut gallery. It's not rocket surgery that kit should fit the people it's issued to properly. Why this is considered contraversial is quite insane.
