'U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, keen to expand the number of women and minorities in military leadership, on Monday will endorse "Lean In" discussion groups sparked by Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg's bestselling book, a senior defense official said.

Carter and Sandberg will meet at the Pentagon with 15 women from all ranks and military services who already lead Lean In groups, followed by a news conference, where Carter will promote creation of more such groups, at government facilities and even during working hours.

"If you look at the numbers, it's clear that we are not where we should be in terms of the leadership reflecting the overall force," said the official. "It's important that our force reflect the nation that it protects."'

It's too bad the don't "lean in," when it comes to carrying their own weight in front line ground combat. After all, according to gender feminist ideologues everywhere, "a woman can do anything a man can do." I guess it comes down to "a woman's right to choose" (and not a man's) in that area too, since feminist decree says they are capable. :-/
