Firmly believe is a woman wants the job, and can do the job as well as any male counterpart, she should have the opportunity to do so, and with the same pay and benefits.. Front line combat however does bring up some questions, and concerns... disregarding the the mental aspects (fairer sex, relationships, ect... attitudes can and do change).. but can she, and does she have the strength to pull that wounded comrade to cover? Can she carry that 50 cal. along with all her other gear and keep up with the rest of the platoon? If captured??? rape??? And hygiene concerns?? Can she sit out in the middle of some desert for maybe days during that special time without the opportunity or possibility of changing her "feminine protection"??
Women on board ship, aircraft, assault vehicles, tanks, ect, are fine, but ground troops in the front lines.. brings up too many concerns....
