  1. Sample Tweets Join us on Friday, 1/24 from 2-3pm ET for a tweetstorm on #WomenInCombat!
  2.  
  3. Ban on #combatexclusion lifted 1 yr ago today. Thousands of #military jobs = still closed to women. What are we waiting for? #WomenInCombat
  4.  
  5. ALL #military branches should make clear: women will be allowed to train & compete for closed positions. #WomenInCombat
  6.  
  7. Why was combat exclusion policy lifted? Policy = archaic, contrary to reality of women on ground in Iraq & Afghanistan. #WomenInCombat
  8.  
  9. What did combat exclusion policy do? Prohibit women from units where primary mission = engage enemy in ground combat #WomenInCombat
  10.  
  11. Simple fact: #Military needs servicewomen in ground combat teams. No excuses. #WomenInCombat
  12.  
  13. Women pass enlisted #infantry course but #Marines still deny job. Women who pass course should get job. Period. #WomenInCombat
  14.  
  15. Bust through the brass ceiling once and for all. Let qualified women compete for combat positions. #WomenInCombat
  16.  
  17. Service women should be able to compete for every assignment, school, or job open to men. #WomenInCombat
  18.  
  19. When #military closes jobs to qualified women for no reason but gender, retention suffers. @DeptofDefense: open all jobs. #WomenInCombat
  20.  
  21. .@DeptofDefense: Every woman who meets the standard should get the job. #WomenInCombat
  22.  
  23. Our #military standards should be job-specific, not gender-specific. #WomenInCombat
  24.  
  25. .@DeptofDefense: Finish your mission. Get #combatintegration done NOW. #WomenInCombat
  26.  
  27. Fact: women have been risking and sacrificing lives in combat for years. #WomenInCombat
  28.  
  29. .@USMC doing "research" on whether women can handle combat. History shows they can. #WomenInCombat
  30.  
  31. .@DeptofDefense still excludes women from even applying for 1000s of combat positions solely bc of gender. #WomenInCombat
  32.  
  33. .@DeptofDefense’s policies on #WomenInCombat = talent drain of battle-tested women. #Military needs to retain trained, experienced women.
  34.  
  35. Even in Reserves, many units still closed to women. #WomenInCombat
  36.  
  37. .@DeptofDefense left possibility that some career fields, units, and jobs, could remain closed to women. Why? #WomenInCombat
  38.  
  39. .@DeptofDefense policy on #WomenInCombat harms #military readiness of world’s greatest fighting force.
  40.  
  41. .@DeptofDefense: don’t close #military careers to women. Women deserve right to compete. #WomenInCombat
  42.  
  43. .@USSOCOM: "Assessment” process perpetuates the myth that we don’t know whether #WomenInCombat works. No need to wait!
  44.  
  45. All-volunteer #military forces can’t afford to lose talent of experienced women fighters. #WomenInCombat
