• LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Some women are up to combat challenge

  I am a former Army officer and Tillman Military scholar, a University of Maryland graduate and a combat veteran. I received my commission through the University of Arizona's ROTC program. As a young lieutenant, I believed that women should not serve in combat units for all of the same reasons we are used to hearing: physical ability, unit cohesion, rape, capture, etc. I wrote a paper on it once. However, as most of us know, actual experience versus theory is what often changes one's opinion ("Women in combat," Web, Friday).
