Women to be Allowed in US Military Front Line Positions

On Tuesday, the Pentagon announced that it will begin allowing women in front line combat roles.

Those roles will include special forces such as Army Rangers and Navy SEALs.

Plans are for as many as two hundred and thirty-seven thousand more military positions to be opened to women.

Expectations are for all of those roles to be available by January 2016.

Officials say that women who seek the roles will need to meet the same physical standards that the men do.
