Combat Exclusion
Less than a decade ago, the potential repeal of the Combat Exclusion Policy painted headlines across the country; now, the first wave of many "combat arms" women are facing a decisive point in their military careers, asking themselves – should I stay or should I go? This summer, join Chandler and Johanna, two West Point graduates who have grappled with this decision themselves, as they explore the realities of gender integration's still imperfect reality, lending voices to the women and men on the frontlines of the United States military's recent efforts.
