Panetta spoke about women’s role in the military: “Our military is more capable, and our force is more powerful, when we use all of the great diverse strengths of the American people. Every person in today’s military has made a solemn commitment to fight and, if necessary, to die, for our nation’s defense. We owe it to them to allow them to pursue every avenue of military service for which they are fully prepared and qualified. Their career success and their specific opportunities should be based solely on their ability to successfully carry out an assigned mission. Everyone deserves that chance.”

A new social experiment. What happens to the new women militia who are captured?
