Article here. Excerpt:

'As we can see, in the post-Vietnam years, women flooded into the service and took up roles that were traditionally filled by men. They did a pretty good job of it — so much that the military realized non-combat jobs could and should be performed by women.

There were two lessons we learned from Iraq. The first was that when you put women in combat roles, they rose to the task. The second was, why beg straight white men to serve when gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans are so willing to?'
