Jon Stewart on Tuesday congratulated women for their expanded combat role in the military. That’s right, ladies, you’ve earned it, he said. But not surprisingly, Rick Santorum — defender of traditional roles for women — has some “concerns.” His chief concern?

“It’s not the women Santorum’s concerned about,” Stewart said. “It’s the men, and how concerned they’ll be about the women.”
To explain, Stewart recreated the Navy SEALs’ raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan. Watch the video:
