He is a woman hater.

First of all, it is a misnomer to refer to Women that choose to go into the military as girls as opposed to adults. In the US both genders are considered adults at the age of eighteen. Women have been involved in or near combat zones for years...they just were never given credit for their contributions. It is the women that are asking to be included in combat, not the President.

Thank you LilSpeedy, my question is why do the military women want to be in combat. ;)

I don't think it is a question of wanting to be in combat and much as being told they can't do something because of their gender.
