Gentlemen, sorry but I disagree with Women in Army Combat Roles.. There are of course Amazon Women (BIG & STRONG) who volunteer for such roles but they must be the exceptions NEVER the rule in any military. Women in the Military can be utilised for other important duties e.g. cyber warfare, operating drones, intelligence, security, research, medical etc. etc. When I was a mobilised naval officer during the hostilities in the mid-1960s (NOT Vietnam), our mobilised women naval reservists played important duties manning radar stations along the coastlines as there were several enemy infiltrations; they were also good in communications & manning operations rooms during that time. They all were women volunteers who did fantastic & important operational jobs. For the Navy & Air Force, maybe OK for women to serve on warships and as pilots of aircraft & helos. My opinion is that AVOID using them in Army combat roles. Reasons: (1) physically most women are not as strong as men (2) women (unless the few are conditioned and hardened) are very likely to be emotional during battle situations, unlike fighting army men-soldiers (3) Males soldiers have the natural tendency to protect their female comrades during fire-fights with the enemy and may not be focused on fighting & (4) There will BIG problems when women are captured by the enemy - rapes etc. I rest my case, anyway I am used to be called a damn "Male Chauvinist Pig" by a US Women Army Officer about 8-10 years ago when this was discussed in the blog
