Watcher’s Council Winners for February 1, 2013
The Council spoke last week, and I’m posting the results this week. I’d also like to direct your attention to the Watcher’s Council forum, in which we discuss whether we think it was a good idea for the Obama administration to announce that women are henceforth approved for combat. As I read it, my fellow Council members, like me, are not sanguine about this experiment.
