Virginia governor Bob McDonnell (R.) criticized Rick Santorum for making remarks in favor of the restrictions on the combat role of women in the military. “I like Rick Santorum a lot, I just disagree with any inference he might have made that somehow women are incapable of serving in the front lines and serving in combat positions. . . .” If McDonnell really means this, he shouldn’t just be criticizing Santorum. He ought to be criticizing Obama’s Pentagon, which is loosening the restrictions but still maintains them.
