Because the politicians couldn't take the heat from something like this happening to military servicewomen:

Should've been done in his first year in office; but, he procrastinated until he could pass any problems with implementation on to his successor.

Procrastinated? You're assuming it was even on the list of pressing issues when he took office. I doubt it was even on the list. You're right that it's a politically hot button issue with some people, primarily conservatives. So even if it did come up in the Oval Office, it would be passed to the DOD for action.

The brass at DOD don't make changes to public policy without considering the political ramifications to their boss and getting his approval.
You seem to be saying that gender equality wasn't a priority for Obama when he took office and that primarily conservative politicians would be concerned about fallout, like that described in post 211, resulting from changes. I can accept those as rationales for Obama's procrastination. |

I'm saying gender equality in the military probably wasn't on his list of priority issues when he took office in 2008. It certainly wasn't on most peoples at the time, with all the shit going on. I can picture a shitstorm of wailing and gnashing of teeth from the conservatives and K street, how the Kenyan Devil is sending mothers/sisters/daughters to be raped and slaughtered by the a-rabs.

Anyway, better late than never. If after the policy change any female combatants are taken hostage, we should have a Delta-cup Force to send in and rescue them.

If there is a first organization to get rid of gender barriers, and others to follow.. There is going to be a last. Will it be the navy? Will it be the marines? The national guard? Who will we laugh at as the new era's catholic school boys? Who will we make gay jokes about for years passed the point where gay jokes are still a thing? Who will be the new bottom of the progressive barrel for as long as we live in gravity filled environments and can still make sense of top and bottom metaphors? Stand up future victims of mockery, show yourself.... Or you know, don't stand up, don't do anything, it's kind of the defining feature of the position. |

Even if those two female Ranger School graduates can't be assigned to the Ranger Regiment right away, they should allow them to start using men's restrooms IMMEDIATELY!
