Brown wants to GIVE women a larger role in combat, yet he wants women's employers to tell women what they can/can't do with their bodies? Which kind of self-determination does Brown really support? He can't have it both ways. The worst single thing about America is that health care is determined by one's employer. If you're unemployed, or are a small business owner, you're screwed (unless you're in MA). I've worked in Canada's national healthcare system and there's really nothing to complain about and much to be gained by all parties. America's healthcare system burdens the poor, and causes employers to do something which has nothing to do with their business objectives. C'mon Brown, find a way to the right decision: women can be fully self-determining. Or we'll get there without you.

OK, let's look on the other side of the mirror. What was the point of our going into Iraq and what was the military point of our going into Afghanistan? I am not saying there was no point but what was it? I thought it was to protect our country by going after the enemy in their own territory. I must be wrong again.I say. Let them try to invade our shores with their bow and arrow kind of weapons and let's see, oh can we?, use our sophisticated weaponry to subdue them whether they come covertly or openly.
