Military Making Officers' Clubs 'Inclusive,' Open to All Ranks

The Army is changing the rules for one of its last remaining officers' clubs to be more "inclusive," opening membership at the storied Fort Myer watering hole to service members of any rank.

The commander of the instillation, which neighbors Arlington National Cemetery and is known officially as Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, cited George S. Patton, the famed general who carried ivory-handled pistols, was independently wealthy, and who spoke French, in opening up the elite club to enlisted men.
