Watching this gave me a real thrill because what General Robert H. Barrow, 27th Commandant of the Marine Corps, testified to before the SASC on Women in Combat in June 1991 nobody would say anymore. And then I became terribly sad because I understood that nobody would say this anymore. General Barrow died in 2008.

Watch the entire thing. I know it’s a vid and normally we’ll watch about 90 seconds of video before checking out something else. But this is worth it. Amazingly worth it.
