Hijab or Helmet

One continues to read stuff like this and it doesn't help but make one wonder if there is anybody in the Pentagon that has the foggiest idea what is going in the world. I am not one that is big on women fighting in the front lines, but that isn't the point. Either they are soldiers and treated like soldier or they aren't, and it seems to me that this directive does not exude the image that the woman in uniform is a soldier in hostile territory.
