Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, one of the first female combat veterans elected to Congress says women are already serving ably in the armed forces and will quickly adapt to frontline combat roles.

He serves as Secretary of Defense from 2011 to 2013. Panetta recently lifted the military ban on women in combat, allowing them to officially serve on the front lines for the first time in the history of U.S. armed forces.
